The holy grail of socks...

I've tried Smartwool, Patagonia, Wigwam, Thorlos, Underarmour, and various other brands.

If you truly need the socks to keep you warm and dry fast, good luck, I haven't found a sock I'm happy with.

In the summer, when warmth isn't an issue, the lighter hiking Smartwools are pretty good if I'm wearing boots. If I'm in trail runners, I like underarmour synthetic running socks.

In the winter, when I want warm socks, any of them with significant wool content take forever to dry, plus the wool stretches over the course of several days. I tried Thorlos because they have all synthetic, but there were some fit issues that resulted in blisters.

So, for warm dry socks, I wear liners, and carry 3 or 4 pairs of socks, usually a combination of Patagonia Mountaineering and Smartwool Mountaineering. Less than ideal, but it works.
