Is there hope for finding the Patagonia ultra lightweight organic sock?

April 30, 2018 8:44 PM

The Patagonia ultra lightweight organic crew sock is my dream sock. I have 6 pairs. I've worn them daily for 7 years. I have ebay and poshmark alerts. How else might I find them?

These socks are perfect. I've tried to find others but they are not the same.

I have alerts for Patagonia socks on ebay and poshmark. Every now and then they come up. But Patagonia hasn't made the ultra lightweight in a few years.

I've tried bomba and they are okay but not the same.

Seeking suggestions for alternatives or finding the real thing.

I like the grey and colorful stripes the best, the white and colorful stripes second best, and grey and blue the least.

Smartwool Margaritas are ultralight, crew length, and come in colourful stripes. I have several pairs of the men's version, and like them.

Icebreaker has ultralight merino wool socks that are wonderful! Lifetime guarantee on the socks too.

You could Tweet this question to Patagonia.. That way you get the visibility of both the company and any other potential lovers of their socks.

This will sound nutty perhaps, but every winter at costco they sell these https://www.ebay.com/i/221555361289
Which while probably not as durable as patagonia, are a hell of a lot cheaper .. 12 bucks or so for three pairs .. So, you wouldnt have a lot to lose by trying them out, at least.

Response by poster: Customer service informed me they are making them again in the fall. Yay.
