Hikers swear by the benefits of wool socks. Here are just a few reasons why wool socks should be on your radar for your next trek. Wool fibres' natural crimp and curl create a soft feel, and Merino wool is especially known for its itch-free comfort. Wool is incredibly durable, lasting through over 20,000 bends—nearly seven times more resilient than cotton. It's lightweight yet springy, making wool socks ideal for both cold weather and warm, multi-day treks.
Wool socks excel where cotton falls short, especially when wet. Wool’s unique structure traps heat even in damp conditions, keeping feet warm. They can also absorb up to a third of their weight in moisture before feeling wet, perfect for humid or damp hikes. Plus, wool naturally resists odours and bacteria, ensuring your feet stay fresh and dry on long adventures.
