The properties of wool
Thanks to its fine structure and irregular, flaky surface, which lets it store a lot of air and through which water vapour can diffuse, wool has unique properties in terms of moisture management and thermal regulation. Its ability to store and release moisture, as well as its buffering effect, make it an insulating, comfortable material that is well suited to hiking socks.
What is Merino wool?
The Merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, and then carded, spun and finally used for knitting or weaving.
What are the benefits of Merino wool?
Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.
How do I choose the right footwear for snow hiking?
To gear up in the winter, we recommend you follow the following principles:
Warmth: warmth provided by a warm pair of socks (ideally containing a suitable percentage of wool)
Breathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimise moisture.
Boot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.
Pack of 2 pairs
This model is sold in packs of 2 pairs of socks in the same colour.
How to correctly select hiking socks
Benefiting from the properties of the elastane used in all our socks, they conform to your feet and stay firmly in place during wear. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise you to try on your socks in store before purchase and then to test your socks before setting off on a long hike.
