Smartwool

Performance Hike Light Cushion Crew Sock

Merino wool is renowned for its softness, lightweight nature, and breathability. It naturally wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping your feet dry and comfortable, which is especially beneficial during long hikes or active days. Additionally, it helps regulate temperature, making it suitable for both warm and cool conditions.

Elastane is a synthetic fiber that provides exceptional stretch. When blended with other materials in socks, it allows them to conform to the shape of your foot, enhancing comfort and fit. This means your socks will stay in place without slipping, reducing the risk of blisters during activities.

In socks, "cushion" refers to the padding that provides comfort and support. Socks with more cushion are ideal for activities like hiking, as they offer extra protection against impact. Conversely, "light" cushion socks have minimal padding, making them perfect for warm-weather activities where breathability is key.

Ventilation in socks allows air to circulate, helping to keep your feet cool and dry. Good ventilation reduces moisture buildup and heat, which can lead to discomfort. Socks with built-in mesh paneling enhance ventilation, making them a great choice for hot weather or intense activities.

Synthetic materials are man-made fibers that offer various benefits, such as durability and moisture-wicking properties. In our socks, we use partially recycled synthetic materials to reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance. These materials help keep your feet dry and comfortable, making them ideal for active lifestyles.

Yes! Socks made with Merino wool are versatile and suitable for all seasons. They provide warmth in colder weather while remaining breathable in warmer conditions, thanks to their moisture-wicking properties. This makes them an excellent choice for year-round wear, whether you're hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter.
