I hear the ultra light ones are quite thin, is this true and do these have a bit more of padding?

i wear the merino wool, ones year around and i love them . i personally don't like the lighter ones, but my daughter loves them , i do not think the lighter ones has enough padding . i would try both and decide from there. the socks last forever.

Don't see these being thin. I'm sitting here with a pair now and they feel sturdy. I'm an somewhat overweight and like to hike. They serve well and also look nice. John.

They are not thin but they do have nice padding. I personally do not care for these socks as the do not stretch easily and I struggle to put them on my size 12 feet.

I do not know about the ultra lights; however, the Darn Tough quarter hiking socks are at least twice as thick on the bottom as a crew sock. This provides a nice layer of "padding" while walking or hiking.

I do not know about the ultra light, but these have a some padding. I use them for hiking. Very comfortable and warm. Kept their shape after several hikes. 15 plus miles and no washing.

These socks are on the thicker side of my wool socks. However, they are very comfortable. The thinner wool socks do not appear to last as long, but are more comfortable during warmer weather.

Hey Nerses,I see this review has been generating some commentary. Did you end up getting the Groove Ultralight and how do you like it?Thanks,

They are thinner than other gloves. I would say they don't keep you very warm at that temp. They still keep your hands warm just not as well as other thicker gloves.

I believe you will be fine. I don't think they are as compressive as cycling shorts, but they are on that order. By the way there isn't a lot of padding so the look is more natural and flattering.

These are definitely thinner than Balega. I prefer Balega for long runs (the heel tab is taller and wider, and stays in place better), and these for everyday wear and shorter runs.

They are not padded, though the leather is decently thick. Over all for the price, I think they're quite amazing!

They are very thin and lightweight. Very little compression. They felt more like a layer of skin and were shorter in length than I expected. I would suggest a neoprene product.

Weight rating? Not sure what that means but my best answer is that they are pretty lightweight and very comfortable!!!

Comfort-wise, they are very thin and lightweight. They wick away sweat very well but being so thin they may not have enough cushioning to be on your feet all day. They are extremely well made and will last a long time but I'm not absolutely sure they will suit your needs. I could recommend Under Armour or even Timberland socks that wick away sweat and provide a lot more thickness, so those might be more suitable for what you are looking for. :)

Yes, they have straps, and they are very light - don't remember exactly but maybe 1# or less.

They're a bir thick but I think you should be ok. Maybe go with something slimmer

yes very ... much lighter than I'm accustom to but I've adapted very well, and they still look as good as the day I bought them... I hope this helps you !

I'm going to have to say that they probably won't do much in the area of protecting your body from bumps and bruises. There is little to no padding at all. Protection from the sun, yes, protection from physical objects, probably not. I hope this helps :)

They are not terribly light in weight but are well padded andvery comfortable.

Actually the padding in the palm is little bit thicker than other pairs that I have used.

Yes, they are light enough. I am a pitcher in senior softball and I wear them when pitching and sometimes I leave them on when I bat. They do not impede my running.

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.
