I actually love them for traveling - nice and loose, provides some warmth without being too hot. Where can I buy some? My favorite ones so far were the ones in the TK amenity kit with the rubberized sole.

Edit- just realized I'm in the Travel Tech section and not Travel Products. Could a mod kindly move?

Looks like they are these socks: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/44...ight_sock.html

Unfortunately, the minimum order quantity of 10,000 pairs is a bit steep for me

Check the dollar stores? I've seen them gave out in Hospitals also.
Worse case go to Wal-Mart and get the cheap ankle socks they are around $0.75 a pair. Well in the throw away category for most travelers.

Thanks! I'll try those out, couldn't find any on ebay as suggested (and frankly not a fan of used socks!)
