Thermal Socks

Many people prefer to hike in the milder months. But hiking in winter can be exhilarating, and it's a great way to stay active all-year-round. But it's important to go prepared and wear the right hiking clothing to ensure you stay warm and safe in the cold.

Winter hiking requires a little more preparation, especially if you intend to hike at very high altitude, and on trails that are covered in snow. Our hands and feet tend to feel the cold first, so a cosy pair of thermal socks is essential to safe winter hiking.

THERMAL SOCKS FOR WOMEN

When hiking in cold weather it's important to wear the right socks. Thermal socks for women are usually made from thick wool or wool-blend fabrics that retain heat better than cotton, while allowing your feet to breath. Merino wool is a good choice as it's very warm, light, and durable. It also has excellent moisture-wicking properties to help keep your skin dry.

Team your warm socks with other items from our thermal clothing range, including tops and leggings.

MEN'S THERMAL SOCKS

If you're wearing men's thermal socks, just make sure you still have enough room in your walking boots to move your toes around. Sock liners are inexpensive, and they will provide some much-needed extra warmth without the bulk.

KIDS' THERMAL SOCKS

Whether it's a family day out or a school trip, it's important to keep your little one's feet warm and toasty. Kids' thermal socks come in lots of fun patterns and colours, and are an essential part of every child's winter wardrobe. Some kids' winter wellies will also help to keep their feet warm and dry.
