I've tried about a 1/2 dozen pairs of socks from Castelli and this one is hands down the best for durability. I bought 3 pairs, but only used two for a season. Recently I started using the third pair and I can't tell which socks were used for a season and which ones are brand new.
They fit extremely tight for compression I'm a USM 11.5 and couldn't wear anything smaller than the 2XL.
Feet warmth is very personal, some run hot and some cold, so you have to find your own sweet spot for temps. Having said that, my feet run hot so unless it's below 55-60 there is no way I would use these. If it's below 40 I switch to the Castelli Men's Quindici Soft Merino Sock which is also excellent for the long haul. These are perfect for 40-55 degrees for me.
I purchased both the Distanza and Bandito socks at same time. Bandito socks after a few washings are starting to pill and discolour whereas the Distanza socks are holding up. I would buy more pairs of this model.
