Guide Review - WrightSock CoolMesh Socks

Many walkers swear by double layer WrightSocks to prevent blisters. The CoolMesh design eliminates the acrylic outer layer and instead uses CoolMax moisture-wicking fabric for both layers. This is the lightest and most breathable design from Wrightsock yet, with an outer layer mesh panel for even more air flow, cooling, and drying. I love the colors, which allow you wear the socks on trails and through mud without worrying about white socks turning ugly. Invest in these socks and your feet will thanks you.
