Patagonia Mediumweight Hiking Alpine Socks
The long cuff and rib design of these versatile socks protects lower legs from boot-bang and thrashy approaches, and prevents migration. Four fabrics come together to provide exceptional performance in wet and cold conditions: merino wool for warmth, polyester for optimal wicking, nylon for durability and spandex for shape retention. The felted footbed acts as both cushion and insulation against weathered alpine terrain. Made in USA.
- Fabric provides the ideal balance of warmth, durability and wicking performance; Soft, plush merino wool is chlorine-free, itch-free and maintains durability and cushion for the lifetime of the sock
- Midweight is perfect for multifaceted use; Innovative, rib-cuff design is non-restrictive and prevents socks from sloughing into boots
- 100% felted merino wool footbed and up through shin maintains cushion and insulation; Yarn is chlorine-free for long term stability and performance
- Variable knit construction: loopy weave under toes and heel for cushion, grid pattern under the arch for breathability; Elastic, ravel-free welt is non-restrictive and prevents socks from sloughing into boots
- 3-layer knitted construction increases next-to-skin comfort, durability and adds a soft hand; nylon "sandwiched" in the middle is highly durable; Looped Lintoe® toe construction creates the smallest and flattest seam possible for ultimate toe comfort; it also minimizes waste in the knitting process
- Knitted-in moisture-wicking performance; Elastic arch band provides arch support and a snug fit; Shaft length extends to just below the knee for leg coverage under hiking boots
- 65% merino wool, 20% nylon, 12% polyester, 3% spandex with Capilene® performance
- 85 g. (3 oz.)
- Made in USA.

So Comfy!
These are very warm socks. Kept me warm while hiking around Jackson Hole a few months ago :)

Great item, soft, warm, and manages moisture well
These are very soft socks that feel great on your feet. They wick moisture amazingly well and should give years of use. On top of all of that they are made from chlorine-free wool. Another great product from Patagonia.

Nice
I really like these socks. They are super warm especially for how thin they are. Ive been doing Search and Rescue for five years now and in that time Ive burned through a lot of socks and I rarely buy the same kind twice, but I just got these and am already considering getting some more. They are a little tight around the calf so if you are bigger there these arent the socks for you.
