If dropped on the planet and a big voice bellowed, "Go forth young person, you are now a Drifter' and they gave but one choice of socks for the remainder of this lifetime, this is the one we'd pick. Made for graveling, fat tires, skinny tires, drifting, and journeying, this one will take you far and wide. For shorter trips, wear it to bed on a cold winter's night.
