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.
