Really?  These are like the best - I have 5 pair now and practically live in them.  Comfortable and actually kind of warm.  Not like sub-zero warm, but not so bad for a warm up.  I think they are making another design, because the previous ones with 3 stripes are impossible to find and this one is getting scarce - hence the reason for multiple pairs. Also I am a short dude - so the sipper ankle is awesome.  I can wear them bunchy or i can turn them up and wear them like they are hemmed - can't beat that!!!
