While not your white tubesock design, I can highly recommend SmartWool socks if you want to try something a bit different. I've had excellent life out of them and they come in a wide range of weights. I wear them year-round. I find them to feel drier than cotton. They tend towards expensive, but you can find them at some of the lower cost camping gear outlets - like Campmor or Sierra Trading Post.

Gotta have happy feet.
