Merino wool is an excellent material for making socks: not only does it help regulate body heat, preventing sweating, but it also wicks moisture away from the skin should you sweat.
This merino wool blend traps air pockets that keep feet warm even in the most extreme conditions. Furthermore, the material retains its insulating properties even when damp, an ideal advantage when outdoors in all weather conditions or if your footwear leaks water. The fabric also has antibacterial properties.
The toe and heel shape ensures that the socks stay perfectly in place, while the height, which goes well above the ankle, prevents the trousers from riding up above the top edge.
They are available in black or olive green and in sizes UK 7-9 or UK 10-12.
