You know those truck decals that indicate which partner is sitting on which side? These bear socks aren't quite like those, but if you wanted them to be, they could. The VanGrizzle was named after one of our own — it was his AT trail name. The Bear Town was named because it has a bear on it. Both are wonderful hiking socks, regardless of which side you sit.
