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.
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: pull the socks up so that they are the same height as your boots and preferably choose long socks 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.
