NORTHMAN Trek Silver Merino Light Socks - Green

Product detailed description

Introducing our new Trek Silver Merino Light hiking sock that combines the best of natural and synthetic fibres.

The socks are made from a special antibacterial X-STATIC fibre that contains silver. The X-STATIC fiber has been tested for over 260 washes without compromising antibacterial effectiveness. The antibacterial fibre is complemented by a thin Italian polyamide fibre which is found in the upper part of the sock. This fibre makes the sock highly resistant to wear and tear.

We have used X-STATIC fibre in combination with Merino in the foot part of the socks, which is where the highest incidence of unwanted bacteria is found. This fibre also reinforces the durability of the knit and reduces the pilling of the Merino wool.

Merino is then found throughout the body of the sock and its properties perfectly complement the benefits of the antibacterial X-STATIC fibre. All of our Merino wool is supplied by an Italian manufacturer that meets the Responsible Wools Standard. The softened and reinforced zones are anatomically shaped on the right and left foot. The toe box is also shaped for the right and left foot for a better fit. The toe is also seamlessly stitched to prevent blisters. There is a drawstring waist in the sock's narthex, which provides greater fit to the foot to prevent unwanted movement of the sock. There are also ventilation panels in the nart that wick away moisture.
