my local ski shop was shutting down due to on-line competition, I did a deal with the owner where I took a good numbers of pairs of Teka Merino organic wool socks off his hands at a special price
2 years on, I use them every day, I have shorter length and slightly lighter weight socks for regular riding and commuting, and full length (knee) and heavier weight socks for bad weather mountain biking
best clothing purchase I have made in years, and I’ve started buying Endura Baa Baa Merino clothing like their base layers, which are proving much better in performance than similar style synthetic products
