When should I wear these socks?
They are recommended for static hunting, low- to medium-intensity use and regular use. For example, for static-watch drive hunting, shooting game birds or stalking in the autumn and winter, these socks will help to keep your feet warm. Since we all feel the cold differently, we recommend them for temperatures between 0 and 10°C, but this can vary from one person to another.
Composition
On the underside of the foot, on the calf and the shin, the Merino wool is knitted in large loops. Between these parts, the Thermolite synthetic yarn is knitted in medium-sized loops. In this way, even if your feet are damp due to perspiration, you retain your warmth. Your feet will not feel cold. The toe and heel are reinforced with polyamide thread for resistance. Finally, the elasticated side on the calf, ankle and instep provides a snug fit.
The advantages of Merino wool
Merino wool regulates body temperature and wicks away moisture. It is soft and comfortable. What is more, it naturally reduces unpleasant odours. In other words, after a physical effort and heavy perspiration, merino wool prevents evaporation and helps to maintain body temperature by absorbing most body moisture. This limits the unpleasant chilling effect.
How do you choose your sock size?
Choose a sock size that fits your foot to avoid any extra creases: if the socks are too big, there will be too much material around your foot and you will not feel comfortable at all; if the socks are too small, they will be "pulled" towards the inside of the shoe, which can lead to rubbing, pain and even blisters during or at the end of your outing.
How to wash Merino wool socks properly: how?
We recommend you wash them in the washing machine at 30°, on a normal cycle, preferably with a liquid detergent. We also recommend a maximum spin cycle of 800 revolutions per minute. Dry flat, NEVER in a tumble dryer, unless you want to shrink them by a size or two!
