The Five Best Hiking Socks

Posted by Rafe Baker on

Join us in this week’s blog as we discuss what makes the ultimate hiking sock, helping identify the right pair for you.

 

Scarning

 

A frequent question is whether a natural or synthetic fabric blend is better for hiking socks. The Scarning is testament to our belief in the amalgamation of both, creating a performance-driven sock with a natural feel.

 

The Scarning utilises recycled wool and cashmere, polymers renowned for softness and their moisture-wicking ability. Anti-microbial, wool and cashmere help stop the growth of odour-causing bacteria, keeping feet fresh throughout your hike.

 

Viscose has similar moisture-wicking properties, helping transfer perspiration away from the skin. A highly durable polymer, nylon is especially resistant to abrasion, maximising the sock’s longevity. Premium all-weather hiking socks.

 

Gresham

 

The Gresham has the same material composition as the Scarning. Subtle, earthy hues intertwine with the surrounding environment.

 

The use of recycled wool embodies a hybrid approach, using repurposed fabrics where possible. We remain firm in our belief that sustainability and performance can coexist, empowering the individual and the planet.

 

Kimberley

 

A bamboo hiking sock, the Kimberley also blends sustainability with performance. Bamboo is a renewable resource that can be harvested without harming the actual plant itself.

 

In terms of performance, bamboo fibres are soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping feet aerated. Bamboo yarn is also naturally anti-microbial, inhibiting the growth of odour causing bacteria. Blending bamboo with nylon maximises the sock’s lifespan, handling the long distances inherent to hiking. Versatile, lightweight hiking socks.

 

Thurton

Thurton

 

A quick dry, mid length Sock. Highly breathable, a sock that can deal with moisture and humidity. Polycolon® is especially effective in the withdrawal of moisture away from the skin, letting feet breathe. The integration of nylon increases strength, resisting abrasion in friction-heavy areas, such as the heel. A premium hiking sock with a focus on durability.

 

Wiveton

 

Our lightest, thinnest, waterproof sock – ideal for hiking in wet, warm conditions. Our patented Aquasealz™ technology combines complete waterproofness with breathability, keeping feet dry and aerated throughout your hike. A bamboo lining wicks internal moisture away, helping perspiration escape from inside sock. The ultimate waterproof sock for hiking in warm, potentially wet environments.
