I have tried both Thorlo (for many years) and Bridgedale socks (more
recently) and I must say I'm now sold on the Bridgedales - esp. the Coolmax
models. They fit comfortably and brilliantly not leaving any gaps or bulges
of fabric, and they seem to have a better range of sizes to make it easier
to get a good close fit.

You just have to be careful you don't get socks that are too thin (as I did
when I bought my first pair).
