Our take

The inner layer is synthetic; the outer is merino wool, which wicks and smells less after a long session. It does the same blister job as the plain Coolmesh II. You pay $4 more for the wool.

  • The catchThe priciest of the three Wrightsocks, and still thin underfoot.
  • Best forBlister-prone players who hate stinky socks.
