The hiking tech medium crew sock offers extra cushioning on the instep and around the leg to protect against pressure points from heavier footwear. The cozy wool cushioning next to the skin insulates the foot from hot spots and blisters. Hikers who enjoy day-long hikes in heavier or traditional hiking boots would be wise to choose this sock.
The two layer construction of these core outdoor socks result in comfortable and long lasting performance. A durable outer layer of nylon protects the soft merino wool layer next to your skin, creating a perfect performance system. Point6 high quality merino wool is compact spun and is knit with high needle count machines to create more stitches per inch. The result? A dense, more durable sock that resists pilling and wear while wrapping your feet in luxurious softness. As your feet warm up or cool down, point6 merino eliminates moisture to maintain your optimal body temperature, preventing blisters and odor.

Not all merino is created equal. Just because it says merino, does not mean it is superior Point6 quality merino. Wool is mother nature's miracle fiber and no laboratory has been able to create a synthetic fiber that can match up to its inherent natural properties. There is a huge range of quality of merino wool, with specific fiber specs including micron (fiber diameter), length of fiber, percentage of fibers outside the desired micron count (coefficient of variance), whiteness, and strength. The Point6 team has spent over 20 years producing merino wool products and we have the expertise to select only the best fibers with very tight specifications. The result is high performance merino wool whose quality, durability and comfort is unmatched.
