* Tried for several days downhill skiing, these socks are hot. * I have tested snowshoeing. They are hot, but are not Goretex, so they absorb sweat and still a bit damp. * But, contrary to what the photo shows, they do not rise very high. Is it because I'm a big man? * They have been used 6 times with wash (30 ° C) and do not fluff or do not deform. * But I sense they will not do several winter seasons (I must say that I am in the mountains every weekend). * There are no offensive seam and holding (mid-calf) is still effective.
