		<p>September’s staff pick is by Brad Olson. Brad picked the Thorlos Hiking Socks. Here’s what he said about his choice.</p>		
							"I like how the new Scouting hiking socks fit and feel. When it is warm outside, they are able to take moisture from your feet and disperse it away. In the winter time, it provides extra warmth for your feet. The materials help provide comfort for your feet while hiking to limit foot irritations."
