Bought these for hubby and he says: These seem to have been downgraded in their MFG quality. I remember the last time I replaced a set the new ones were much tighter than the  worn out old ones,, but this time there is little difference, especially in the foot. Also, the new ones seem to have a much lower "thread count" in that you can see through them when they are on while the previous ones had a tight enough weave that they were still opaque. Yes, my weight has remained the same. 3M bought Futuro in 2008. Seems like they ignored "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" in the name of a few extra cents profit per pair. NOT HAPPY!
