One of our most tech-savy snow socks, the new Function X was re-engineered to provide max comfort and warmth for resort skiers and riders. Made from midweight merino wool, these ultra-smooth socks make all the difference if you decide to head back out after lunch. Terry cushioning in the shin and the 'X' on top of the foot provides warmth while added heel durability protects you run after run.

Height: Over-the-Calf

Weight: Midweight

Pairs With: Ski boots, snowboard boots, winter boots

  • Men's over the calf socks average 43 cm from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no boundaries. Here's to feeling connected and comfortable in your boots run after run.
  • Merino Wool has a natural ability to move heat and moisture, keeping skier's and rider's feet warm and dry.
  • All-season performers, midweight socks naturally adapt to keep your feet at the right temperature.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Reviews

Great sock

"Great weight, smells good, great snowboarding sock I can tell already"

— Nick P. (5/5)

These socks are great! I

"These socks are great! I have bigger legs and they came up to my knees. Even though they are mid-weight they still felt thick and comfy in my snow-boots. They wicked sweat away from my feet to keep them dry. I have worn darn tough socks for over 10 years (I own 16 pairs). During that time only one sock has developed a hole in it. The quality is noticeable and worth the price."

— Scott D. (5/5)

I wear these working on

"I wear these working on the mountain for 12 hour shifts, don’t even need to change socks mid shift like other brands. Perfect balance of warmth and sweat wicking."

Ok but not great

"These expensive ski socks came from overseas, which delayed the delivery and was not explained during the purchase process. Once received the socks are Ok but not worth the high cost."

— colin w. (2/5)

As good as I hoped

"I have been skiing exclusively with Smartwool socks for the last 20 years. On an impulse whim, I bought a bunch of these hoping they’d be close enough and hopefully as good… well, I like them so much I donated all of my smartwool socks to goodwill. These fit great, they don’t move around on my feet or bunch up, they have nice shin padding, and are comfortable. This is my new ski, hike, winter, cold weather sock."
