Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Costco merino wool socks - thumbs up!

I saw these at Costco about 2 months ago and picked up a 4 pack and like them so much I bought another 4 pack this past weekend. From what I found they are only offering 1 weight, I believe it is a medium but they are super comfortable and my feet don't sweat near as much as they use too.

Picked up a 4 pack today - $10.49. We'll be checking them out.

I still have my first pairs from over 10yrs ago. I only wear them for hunting in the fall/winter and they are still going strong. I can't say that for a few other brands I've owned. A couple yrs ago I bought a bunch of extra pairs for about $8 per four pair at Costco (a real bargain).

The key to making 'em last is a gentle wash cycle and hang dry.

Wore them today on a 3 hour grouse hike. Really did well. Purposely wore them without a silk under sock just to see how they would work out. Very nice! I'll grab another 4 pack next time I'm there.

Thanks for the tip guys. Picked up 8 pair for me and another four for the wife.

I wear 'em year round, and love the comfort. Ironically, or at least counter-intuitively they do VERY well in hot weather. My cotton socks haven't left their drawer in years.


Ditto. Gentle cycle, then the drying rack. A bi-monthly ritual.

I'll have to see if they'll fit in my running shoes.

went to costco and they had a 3 pack of wool socks called wigwam for $11.49 these appeared to be a little thicker type sock, they also had a thin wool sock in a 2 pack for $12 something. are these different socks than what you guys are buying?? are the good socks kirkland branded??

I dont think you saw the right socks. The wigwam ones are junk. These socks are merino wool, kirkland branded, medium weight, and come 4 pair to a pack.

I just got mine for $10.99 for a 4 pack.. got 2!! Don't ya just Love Costco!!!!

Costco socks are great, but don't overlook the Omniwool socks from Sam's Club. They are a more structured tighter-knit sock. They are really good too.

Thanks for the tip. I just Googled them to check the Merino content, and it's 75%. Very nice for $5 a pair.

I couldn't get the Costco socks here but got the Sams and they are very nice. Thanks for the heads up ..............

The Wigwams are not junk, you have to use them for what they were made for, cold weather. They are a heavier weight merino wool blend that work great in colder weather, I use them when snowmachining and whenever I am outside, love them for those purposes. I wore them 1 day during my sheep hunt and they were way too warm so I switched back to my lighter Costco socks.

I'm probably thinking about a different wigwam sock. The ones I tried were cotton and bunched up like crazy.

These new ones are a merino blend and I think they cost $10+ for 4 pair.

The wigwam ones are a tube sock that don't hold their shape very well. It doesn't take long to rub holes in them either. Fine for non-hiking uses in colder weather. Snow machining sounds like a good plan.

Costco socks are 71% Merino....

Saw some 75% merino wool socks (3 for $15) at Sam's today. Only had $100 on me. Ink, milk, snack bars, bread, OJ & lemon aide for the kids won out.

Rest assured, I'll be back...............................<grin>
