  • Crew height adds coverage for trail shoes and boots
  • Merino wool blend supports soft, naturally comfortable performance
Merino Blend Construction

With 56% merino wool listed in the source content, this sock brings the soft feel and odor-resistant benefits hikers look for in wool. Nylon in the blend helps support durability for repeat use on trail days and travel days alike.

  • Merino wool-rich blend
  • Nylon content supports wear resistance
  • Recycled/repurposed content noted in the product feed
Fit & Cushion

The light-cushion profile is made to fit cleanly inside hiking footwear without taking up the space of a heavyweight sock. Choose your usual sock size from the available S–XL options.

  • Available in S, M, L, and XL
  • Offered in multiple trail-friendly colors
Best Use

This sock is best for day hikes, warm-weather backpacking, travel, and everyday outdoor use when you want comfort without excess padding. Pair it with hiking shoes or boots where a crew-height sock is preferred.

  • A practical option for repeat trail days

Questions and answers

Is this sock good for summer hiking?

Yes. The light cushioning is designed for hiking comfort without the bulk of a heavier sock, making it a good match for warm-weather trail days.

How tall is the sock?

It has a crew height, so it should sit above most low hiking shoes and many hiking boots for added coverage around the ankle and lower calf.

What is it made from?

The source material lists 56% merino wool and 11% nylon, with recycled/repurposed content noted. The remaining fiber content is not specified in the feed.

How much cushion does it have?

It uses light cushion underfoot, so it adds trail comfort while keeping a lower-volume feel inside hiking footwear.

Just right for day hikes

These are a great thickness for day hikes when I don’t want a bulky sock. The crew height works well with my hiking boots and the merino feels comfortable after a few miles.

Comfortable without bulk

I like the light padding underfoot for warm trail days. They fit easily in my shoes without making them feel tight.

Solid trail sock

Good hiking sock with a soft feel and enough coverage for boots. I wish there were more colors in my size, but the sock itself has been reliable.
