I first came across
Col d'Lizard socks back in 2006, when I started riding all through the year, in St. Louis. I might have gotten to know them through the
IceBike website. Back then I bought a pair of their Merino Wool Skiing socks and their PolarTec tights. Both the socks and the tights saved my butt on many a cold day.
Since I was so good in 2011, Santa brought me a bunch of Col d'Lizard Socks for Christmas and I was delighted that I got them.
Just like the name says, Darn Tough they are! Worth every penny!!
I have used Col d'Lizard's products for a few years now. In fact, I still have the original pair of socks I bought back in 2006 and the tights. They are still in great shape. I use the Darn Tough Skiing socks (not pictured in this post), when the temperature drops below 25 degrees F. They still keep my toes nice and toasty.
If you are in the market for a good pair of sock, give the Col d'Lizard socks a try. I would recommend them to anyone, wholeheartedly, because they are so Darn Tough!

ReplyDeleteDuring the winter period, by the end of a couple of hours ride my feet are freezing and that's with two pairs of socks and a pair of over shoes....

So, where do they sell these? My REI socks are not near as nice and my ski socks are not near as warm. And it will be interesting to compare our Salomon stories. Feet dry this morning, but I avoided lake riding...
ReplyDeleteI buy them from Coldlizard.com. Love'em :)
DeletePut that Salomon post back up! I saw it there. Inquiring minds want to know.
