I bought a pair in May and have been wearing them on almost every Sunday hike that I have done since then and they have been dry, cool, and don't look like they have been worn at all. I am planning on getting a couple more pair soon, before fall.
Socks are important no doubt. We really need some better discussion generated. White tails n big racks or something. This can work for either topic btw.
On a side note: Glad we did not resurrect the old 'back country briefs' thread.
