Injinji Toe Socks

I’ve seen the Injinji Toe Socks at trail running events and all sorts of other places for some time now, but have never gotten the opportunity to give them a whirl. And give them a whirl is exactly what I did.

I’ve ran, hiked, and biked with the Injinji Toe Socks (or Tsocks, if you prefer), and love ‘em.  No complaints.  Think of them like a glove for your foot, a really comfy glove that wicks moisture. They are made with CoolMax, so you know your tootsies will breathe well. The Toe Socks are seamless; don’t worry about developing a hotspot because of stitching.  In fact, these babies eliminated a blister problem that I’ve had between a couple of my toes while on long hikes.

The Injinji Toe Socks are thin, and fit well in lightweight trail runners.  If you have shoes that don’t have much interior volume to spare, then these are the socks for you. Injinji offers toe socks for a wide array of outdoor activies, yoga, and travel – they even have a CoolMax EcoMade performance version as well.

These are some serious technical socks – leaps and bounds above the nasty ‘ol cotton tube that you might still be sliding your foot into now. Put them on like you would a glove, pulling it on and fitting it around each toe.

How much does it cost to wrap your feet in some Injinji toesocks? Twelve bucks will get you the performance series sock in micro, mini-crew, or crew – a small price to pay for a whole lotta comfort and additional blister protection, if you ask me.

Get yourself a dozen or so pairs (and send me some too) from Injinji.com.

Dry Docs by Seattle Sports

No one likes wet maps, personal identification, or credit cards. Well, I guess I can’t speak for everyone, but I know that I’m not a happy guy when my wallet accidentally gets submerged while out on the water. I can’t imagine anyone being thrilled about a soggy wet wallet.
If you’ve ever been in this situation, [...]

Osprey Exos 34 Pack

An ultralight pack with features?  Say it ain’t so, Osprey.
Well, it is so – and we’re talking about bells and whistles like Osprey’s AirSpeed suspension, a Stow-on-the-Go trekking pole attachment, InsideOut compression system.  And that’s just the trademarked components, mind you.  What about tool loops, a 3-liter hydration sleeve, and a removable top lid?  Yep, [...]

Golite Poncho/Tarp Review

Golite Poncho/Tarp Review

For ultralight hikes, using gear that can serve double duty is the only way to go.  I’m not recommending that you go so far as using your titanium spork to dig a cat hole, that would just be taking things waaay too far.  If you are doing that, stop now — it’s just gross.
