I bought a pair of the Hollow alpaca socks. I got the heaviest model but they are much thinner than my Darn Tough socks. They are not as tight of a weave and do not look nearly as durable. I haven't gotten a chance to test them in cold weather yet but so far they are meh. I highly recommend Darn Tough. If someone made alpaca socks in the same thickness, density as Darn Tough, I would be very interested in trying them. I kind of wish Darn Tough would add some alpaca socks to their selection.
