A new addition to the Light Hiker collection is the 1/4 Sock. Modest enough for a Victorian aristocrat, and equally familiar with expansive views, these ankle-covering socks offer a smooth cuff, comfortable fit, and lightweight functionality that truly endures. Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life. Specs Performance Fit: No slipping, no bunching, and no blisters. Fine Gauge Knitting: Unprecedented durability and our unique “put it on, forget it’s on” feel. Fast Action Wicking: Pulls moisture away from skin. Fast drying. All Weather Performance: Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Guaranteed For Life: No strings. No conditions. For life. Merino Wool is fast drying, breathable and odor resistant for all-day comfort. Cushion in the Hike/Trek category features terry loops under the foot, and in the taller styles reaches above the ankle for comfort and protection.
