What are some of the most popular choices for mtb socks these days? The DryMax Hyper Thin Mini Crew has been my general athletic sock for years:

But at the mtb events I went to last year it looked like most mtb guys wear crew socks with a few wearing quarter socks - no low or "no show" socks. I just bought a pair of 5.10 Freerider Pros so now I need up my mtb sock game. Any recs?

The sock of choice for ultra running...by far. Great for cycling too.

Socks? I've been wearing Keen sandals all summer and fall until last week. My decision process on socks has become: chilly temps require thicker socks. Less chilly temps require thinner socks. Did I miss something?

I just buy whats on sale. Most are Sockguy socks. There's a vendor when I went to Sea Otter last year was selling 3 pairs for $10. I bought several pairs. I have socks that are years old that are still in pretty good shape.

I didn’t even known there were “mtn bike socks.”

95% out of the year I just wear “socks. “ I prefer black socks because they don’t show dirt as much. If it’s cold I’ll wear thicker ones.

I have about 10 pairs of these:

I've just always used these "danish endurance" socks. Comfy, not too expensive, have held up very well https://amzn.to/2L6IwmV

Found myself wearing them to the gym also

you guys are crackin me up....

Socks are pretty personal items and a lot depends on the temps you expect to wear them in...... I like Merino socks, even for summer.

One brand I've really liked lately is Darn Tough....different heights and weights, look good. Definitely need to find a discount code or sale....but they are quality...

Also have run Wigwam, Kuiu, Smartwool, and some budget RealTree Merino that were amazing for super cheap.

Don't only get stuck on a cycling rebrand unless you just want the logo.....which I do have many of

Tasco is a really nice quality good looking product...

Nike dryfit socks work great.

I don't ride with socks, its TRI!

As it's never really super hot were I live...

Average temp is 16-18°C

I prefer to wear work type socks, thick and comfy w/ adequate adequate ankle protection.

If I'm riding hot, arid conditions - I'll wear sports socks.

It should be noted that I am far from an expert on fashion, especially when my wife or kids are asked, so my input may be useless. My cycling sock are all either crew or quarter length. I haven't noticed big differences in cycling socks from Sock Guy, Save our Soles, DeFeet, Jett, Pearl Izumi, Endura, SmartWool, etc.

I wear cycling socks as my daily socks most of the time, even when I have to wear them with a suit for work. Almost all of mine were schwag from events, from club membership, for supporting IMBA, or given to me as gifts, with a few pairs bought out of the sale bin at the LBS. Here are the contents of my sock drawer that are not currently in the laundry.

DeFeet or Save our Soles

I prefer Defeet or a new one I found, Save our Soles have been my go to, everyday really, riding or not. Both offer a huge selection of styles and colors. Another brand I've tried is Watts Style.
