'OK I suppose'
Strengths:
Very durable and warm. Good underfoot padding.
Weaknesses:
Somewhat overpaddded on top and legs, causing overheating and wrinkling. A bit rough-feeling - definitely need a liner with these. Not very fitted.
Overall:
These are fine but not nearly as good as Bridgedale socks, despite being more expensive. For a technical sock, they are somewhat under-designed; I would expect to see more variation in fibre and weave in the different parts of the sock for the best performance.
