Previous Feedback
Comments: These socks are thin and fit very well. Even after several washes, these socks look and feel like new. They are a bit pricy but if you play hockey and can't quit your day job they offer just a little bit more protection that is worth its weight in gold
From: Dave, SC
Comments: I really recommend getting these socks because they feel great not too thin and not too thick they are just right and they are very protective and saved flames player Brian McGrattan from the same injury Erik Karlson got from Matt Cooke so I highly recommend getting these socks.
From: Mike, RI
Comments: These socks are really thin. In fact, almost too thin on the foot part. I could feel my skates more, but not in a good way, more in a pressure-point way. I'm sure this is a top-notch product, but be aware that it is much closer to a dress sock than an athletic sock.
They do go high up on the calf, though, which is good.
