Midweight Cushion and Seamless Comfort

This sock balances warmth and comfort with a mid-level cushion underfoot, ideal for variable terrain. True Seamless technology fuses the toe for an undetectable seam, delivering an ultra-smooth feel underfoot during movement on rocky trails.

Materials and All-Weather Performance

Crafted from 58% Merino Wool, 39% Nylon, and 3% Lycra Spandex, the fabric wicks moisture, dries quickly, and adapts to changing temperatures. Merino wool helps regulate foot climate, keeping you cool in heat and warm when temperatures drop.

• Fast action wicking moves moisture away from skin
• Breathable, fast-drying wool blend for year-round wear
• Durable knit that maintains shape through repeated wear
