When Smartwool decided to design the PhD Outdoor Mountaineer Socks, they went straight to the man -- legendary climber Conrad Anker -- for advice. The result is a new sock built from basecamp up. Compression for weeks of comfort, a higher percentage of nylon for durability, and seamless high density knitting in the heel and toe areas for that all-important comfort when you're clinging to an icy face at elevation. If you're the kind of person who really comes alive in the high mountains, the Smartwool PhD Outdoor Mountaineer Socks is the sock you want to keep you going.
