Cool Product: Quick Drying Socks

Imagine yourself packing for your next trip. How many pairs of socks are thrown in your bag? For a 2 week trip, especially if you're not planning on washing your clothes, they can quickly pile up. Socks have always been my arch-enemy when packing; they take up a lot of space, don't air dry quickly, and can stink up your luggage. I dreamed of finding a sock that I could wash & dry overnight, enabling me to cut down on my sock bulk and letting me save room for other necessities. Little did I know, that Fox River Mills already makes socks that do all that and more.

Fox River makes an entire line of socks, perfectly suited to the traveler. They've got light, medium, and heavy-duty socks that are purported to wick moisture away from your feet, resist odors, and dry quickly. Real-world tests of these babies are positive: they dry within 6-8 hours and are comfortable to wear, even while running. Sign me up. I'm planning on picking up a pair or two for my next trip, so I can replace a week's worth of socks with a single pair (wear one, pack one).

Interested in getting some for yourself? Amazon sells some different varieties, but for a more coherent view go straight to Fox River.

    This is genius! Thanks for spotting these. I'm always running out of socks when I travel, so these would be perfect.

    They don't have black. Try these.
