A really versatile sock though, and perfect for my winter cycling.

These had a lot of use through winter for cycling. Height/weight/cushioning was perfect (I would’ve ordinarily found them a little too cushioned, but the mesh vent zones through the foot bed slimmed them down just enough to maintain that feel of direct contact with the pedals). I found them super durable in some very scratchy hike and bike scenarios – still look like new. As with the Atmospheres, the photoluminescent yarn didn’t seem particularly effective, but didn’t detract from the sock performance. My one comment would be that the toe seam was sometimes a little bulky/obstructive when the sock was wet – I think maybe because of the high % merino, they sagged slightly through the foot bed when wet, and allowed the seam to move around.
