The Definition of Socks Appeal: Drymax Socks

KIDS RARELY EXPRESS an interest in sock technology careers, but someone must have grown up fascinated by foot wetness issues. How else do you explain the existence of Drymax Hyper Thin Running Socks ($9.45, Onetri.com)?

Instead of simply wicking sweat, the dual fabric design sucks moisture away from the bottom layer of fibers and toward the top layer. We're not entirely sure how that's possible, but it kept our tootsies remarkably dry during a 7-mile jog.

Other technologies also passed our test: An anti-slip wedge kept the fabric from sneaking into our shoes, the flat toe seam made for a comfier fit, and the "active odor control" prevented outrageous stench. Don't believe us? Drymax is so sure it'll knock your socks off that there's a money-back guarantee.
