Super thin socks?

[BdaGhisallo]

Are there any quality cycling socks out there that are thinner than Defeet Lev Lite socks, yet durable at the same time?

I don't know about 'brands', but I always look for a 100% acrylic sock -- as thin as I can find it. I found the higher the cotton content, the more it tended to absorb water-- causing the fibers to swell. Even when my feet are soaked, they are still comfortable.

DeFeet makes some pretty thin socks. How about the Levitator Noseeum? It is cut low though, that wouldn't work for me.

Mellow Johnny's has some they advertise as super thin....

Sole makes the thinnest sock that I've ever seen, or worn. In fact, I find them too thin.

Icebreaker (http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebreaker_man_socksbike_bike_ultralite_micro.html ) makes some nice, very thin wool socks. Not cheap but they've held up well for me and moderate temperatures and manage moisture (and smell) quite effectively.

why ultra-thin sox?

but I immediately thought about WRIGHT SOCKS http://www.wrightsock.com/coolmesh2.php

The coolmesh is the thinnest ones they make and a double layer to reduce friction, different heights ie crew, quarter, and low. They are very thin in my opinion.

REI has them

I am going to give these a try. Thanks for the tip.
