Striking out and I'm in need a few pairs. If they truly are 'gone forever' can anyone recommend the next best thing?

Check TJMaxx. Found some there, as well as some Spyder Ultra Light socks for B and Bridgedale Ultra Light socks for me. I preferred the wool in Smartwool, but at least they're super thin socks for cheap.

And Jeff is right... Smartwool revamped the line and the new versions are all PhD, which is pricier.

If your sizing falls in line, here's a clearance option:

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting I actually go into a STORE to find socks? *shudders*

:lol:

Hot Chilis ultra lights are thinner than the Smartwools, and pretty warm. But they're enough thinner that it throws the fit of my boot off, makes it feel like I'm swimming in them.
