Best Thru-Hiking Socks? NO BLISTERS! | Silverlight Hiking Socks Review

In this video, I review the Silverlight hiking socks, which, in my opinion, are the best thru-hiking socks ever. I thru-hiked over 900 km with them and I got zero blisters along the way. They're still going strong and I will continue using them for the foreseeable future.

Glad you agree bro 😎

Horizon - Primaloft Explorer Extreme socks have Silver Yarn from Primaloft! If I'm not mistaken, Horizon are made in Italy and the Silver Yarn are made in Germany. I was blown away with the quality, comfort, cushioning.

[@RandyMan388]

Your videos are very thoughtful and helpful. Wishing you all the best. Take care.

[@frwb3351]

hey buddy, I ordered a pair to try them out. thanks for your suggestion. have a good one ☀️👍

Paldies par ieteikumu, tieši meklēju jaunas zeķes garākam through hike. Pasūtīju, kods vēl strādā! 🙌

[@mohameddoccali7872]

Thanks . I like them

[@evacoutdoors5867]

Hi Oscar what’s the sizing like on Silverlight I’m a UK 11 EU 46 and they say XL. I’m normally in a medium or large.

[@greekveteran2715]

Has anybody else tried, Horizon - Primaloft Explorer Extreme socks please? They have the Silver Yarn mentioned in this video and it's an Italian brand. Are these beter than Smartwool socks? I'm searching for the best I can get, for not the coldest weather, but still winter medium length hike/trekking socks, on rocky/gravel and mud paths. Thanks in advance

[@KittchenSink]

Bridgedale...... thats all anybody needs to know!! 50 years taught me that.

[@amirasassmann1795]

I can not recommend the silverlight store. I ordered and paid 3 pairs of socks but didn‘t get a tracking number for shipping. Asked 4 times per Mail for this without getting any answer nor the socks jet. But they send up to 2 marketing mails evelyn day. I think I lost my money without getting the socks because I live in Germany and can‘t do anything from here.

[@os-qt1hc]

for me socks play zero part in blisters or no blisters. i can wear the same socks in different shoes and in certain shoes i always develop blisters, even after just an hour of walking. and in other shoes i am comoletely bluster free. all the time wearing the same socks.

[@mrjones8256]

Ordered the wrong pair of socks and just cant get anyone to exchange them I'm not even asking for a refund. Beware of this company!!!

[@mikeroy6713]

By now while they’re on sale! Usually $96.00 now just $79.00. For one pair of socks. You’ve got to be shitting me.

[@OscarHikes]

I think it's for a 3 pack. 😅 i bought the long ones for 27 eur back in summer and the short ones for 23. It looks like the long ones are 30 now.

[@xFlazz]

Yes, they're absurdly overpriced. And they sell them in 3 5 and 7 packs so you'd have to buy them twice to get an even amount. Not even willing to buy them to compare them to darn tough.

[@thanhtuyentran4642]

The $79 is for three pair. I think the price is fair enough because it can solve two biggest issues we have on thru hiking that are blisters and bad smell.

[@shopsilverlight]

Regular price is $25 for ankle socks and $32 for crew socks with quantity discounts for 3-packs and 5-packs. We have actually lower margins than other brands and can only offer these prices because we sell directly to consumers. About 50% of our production cost is just the raw material for the silver yarn.

[@WS_00]

@@xFlazz socks come in pairs, so you’re always going to get an even amount……….

[@furiousdoe7779]

is there silver in the socks … not good for your body.

[@younggun7722]

Theres nothing better then the wool socks or clothing. Its a natural material, it will keep u warm during winter and get u isolated during summer, it breeds, it will not smell, and it will not hurt u with any hemicals etc. Only downside is that is expensive but if u are going to invest in something, invest in good wool clothing.

[@greekveteran2715]

Have you tried the Horizon - Primaloft Explorer Extreme socks?! I can't describe how great they feel, how comfortable.they provide perfect cushioning, without feeling super thick and generaly, they feel really high quality. I used these with my Hanwag Tatra II, that I had also changed their poor insoles.The feel and the performance I ge from the boots, is night and day, I wouldn't believe, that you can get that kind of crazy levels of stability and that comfort in the same time! PS I haven't tried many others, only Hanwag Merrino hiking Socks. which suck! nowhere near, what Horizon are!! Literally, I can't imagine that better socks exisr. I could be wrong though! Anyway,Happy new Year!!!

[@younggun7722]

@@greekveteran2715 i dont know where are u from, but in my country u can buy pair of 100% wool socks made by our viligers from a domestic sheeps for about 6 euros, i use them in a vinter, they are very thick, and in the summer i use marino wool socks.
