Alpaca Socks - Hiker - Beet

Tried and tested in some of North America's most rugged terrains. This is an excellent boot sock that is thick, stretchy, non-itchy, breathable, and warm.

We traveled South to work with Peru's acclaimed alpaca to find the best socks the world has to offer. We partnered with local Peruvian farmers and makers to gather these luxury materials and created a series of custom-made, premium socks for all ages. This is a unisex style that can be worn with a classic style.

This alpaca blend sock is ideal for those looking for a comfortable sock fit with premium warmth, and/or for those on the move. Peruvian alpaca is a natural, technical fiber with remarkable thermal properties. Alpaca allows air circulation on warm days, and heat insulation on cool days. In this way, alpaca is able to prevent sweating in warmer weather, and contain heat in colder weather.

These socks are washed in aloe vera to soothe the feet and prevent sweating, odour, and bacteria. Alpaca is lightweight, silky-smooth, hypoallergenic, non-itchy, incredibly soft, and stronger than mohair. As a bonus, alpaca is one of the Earth's most sustainable fibers to make, because alpacas and alpaca fiber harvesting have a very low environmental impact. Hike more, worry less.
