Hey everyone! In this episode I'm talking about socks! Yeah, I said it, SOCKS!

Here are the specs of these amazing hiking and backpacking socks:

Heavy weight and fully cushioned for warmth on those cold fall and winter hikes at high altitudes. The combination of Merino Wool and PrimaLoft® Yarn results in faster drying and wicking than just Merino Wool while still maintaining a comfortable feel against the skin.  Best suited for cold or damp weather hikes where moisture is an issue.
 
Primaloft® Yarn is made up of ultra-fine polyester fibers which are finer than cashmere, resulting in a luxuriously soft feel while providing unparalleled moisture wicking. When hiking, climbing or doing any aerobic activity, your body works up a sweat and emits heat and perspiration, but when you suddenly sit idle, you can easily start to freeze with an insulation that absorbs water. Primaloft® fibers wick moisture away from the skin and trap body heat.
 
This is a fantastic sock for hikers looking who need warmth, padding, and dryness.
 
 
FEATURES

Thank you Lorpen for sending me these socks and I'm sure I'll be getting much use out of them and putting them to the test.
