Hey Andy, Welcome!

I have a few pairs of SK "sport hose" and they seem ok for the desert heat here in CA, so a little short is ok (granted, I also prefer to wear hose at the top of the calf). Seamus also has a "premium" version that I bought a few of, and they are definitely a higher caliber hose. Sock. Thing. Only four colors, so . . .

And Iolaus, since it was blazing hot in the OC last week, I opted for my sportkilt and flips at Disneyland . . . worked out quite well!
