Main Material

Wool fibres can store a lot of air and let water vapour escape, making wool an excellent choice for moisture management and thermal regulation. Wool’s ability to store and release moisture make it an insulating, comfortable material for hiking socks.

The properties of wool

The merino wool, from Spain, has been a carefully selected breed for generations because of its wool. It provides a softer fibre than traditional wool. After shearing, the wool is cleaned to remove impurities, then carded, spun, and finally used for knitting or weaving.

What is merino wool?

Merino wool offers an unbeatable experience: soft, lightweight, and breathable. Thanks to its fine fibres, it provides natural thermal regulation. It keeps your feet warm in cool weather and cool in warm weather.

What are the benefits of merino wool?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend: 
- Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). 
- Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable.
- Boot height: the height of your socks should correspond to the height of the boot: for more protection, choose higher socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

These socks come in packs of 2 pairs of matching socks.

Pack of 2 pairs

The stretchy fabric means these socks conform to your feet and stay firmly in place. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise trying on your socks in store before purchase, and testing them before going on a long hike.

By developing your product, we have enhanced the comfort with adjustable straps and vertical foam pads on the back. The ventilated fabric on the back and straps provides better ventilation. As a bonus: thumb loops.

How comfortable is this backpack?

This backpack is water-repellent. In light rain, water will roll off without penetrating it. However, it is not completely waterproof. If the rain goes on too long or is too heavy, water will seep through. For extra protection, choose our 10–20 L rain cover (ref. 8772113).

This fleece has a fitted, comfortable cut. Wearing a technical base layer is recommended for better protection against the cold. This fleece was designed to be worn under our windproof and waterproof jackets, such as the MH 100.
Choose your usual size.

The fleece component is designed to trap air, which acts as a natural insulator to keep the body warm. 

How does the fabric insulate you from the cold?

We perform two kinds of tests to measure the warmth of our fleece:
- a material test 
- tests on a thermal manikin in a thermal chamber We reproduce wind (5 km/h), temperature, and humidity conditions typical for mountains on a 5 km/h hike.
These lab tests determine the design, and then it’s approved by field testers. 
Wearing only this fleece will keep you comfortable at temperatures ranging from 7°C to 10°C.

How is warmth measured?

Our hiking fleeces are tested for durability. We guarantee:
- resistance to pilling from backpacks and arm movements
- seam strength
- resistance after three washes

pattern

moisture management

These socks are sold in packs of 2 pairs. Some packs have socks in different colours or designs.

When hiking, it’s important to regulate moisture as best you can. If your shoe is breathable, it will wick away moisture more easily, so you can choose an absorbent, breathable sock. If your shoes are relatively waterproof, you’ll want to make a different choice: you need a sock that will absorb and wick perspiration away.

Choosing the right hiking socks

This sock comes in 3 lengths. The low sock reaches slightly above the shoes but under the ankles. They’re designed to be worn with low-cut shoes. The mid-height sock stops just above your ankles. Ideally, they’re worn with shoes with low uppers.  The high sock is best for shoes with medium or high uppers as it covers your ankle completely, stopping just below the calf.

Choosing the right hiking sock height

You need to choose the right sock size to prevent bunching. The elastane helps the socks stay in place. It’s essential to try your socks on before going hiking.

Choosing the right hiking sock size

Our hiking socks are guaranteed for two years.

Anti-friction yarn 
French terry fabric reinforcements on high friction areas.

Water-repellent thread and ventilated knit on the arch keep feet dry.

Anatomical shape (R/L) and 100% elastic structure for foot support.

This model is sold in packs of 2 pairs of socks of the same colour.

We selected a technical yarn with a specific coating (PTFE) at the heel and toe to reduce friction and the risk of blisters. These socks cannot guarantee 100% protection from blisters. Blisters usually form when your skin is weakened by friction from socks, shoes, stones, or sand. Moisture also weakens the skin.

Reducing the risk of rubbing

We offer 3 lengths of hiking socks. Short/low: go slightly above the shoes but under the ankles. Medium/mid: go just above the ankles to protect them. These 2 lengths are the right size for low-cut shoes. High: go just below the calf, perfect for high-top hiking shoes.

Choosing the right sock height

Our socks come in 4 sizes.The stretchy fabric helps the socks mould to your feet and stay in place. Feet come in all shapes and sizes. It’s important to try on your socks before going hiking.

Our hiking socks are guaranteed for two years.

The synthetic fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly.

Stretch knit for greater freedom of movement.

This long-sleeved hiking shirt helps wick perspiration away on your regular hikes.

Customization

This shirt has a slightly fitted, athletic cut to wick moisture to the outside of the fabric. Choose your usual size or one size up if you prefer to wear a more loose-fitting shirt.

How does the MH 500 Hiking Shirt fit?

Several criteria measure the fabric’s ability to wick away perspiration and dry quickly: fabric absorption power, quick drying, etc. 
Level 1/5 is suitable for low-intensity activities that don’t generate much sweat. All our hiking shirts have a performance between 3 and 4/5, and the MH 500 Shirt has a performance rating of 4/5.

How is the moisture-wicking capacity of the MH 500 Hiking Shirt tested?

Up to 3°C of additional warmth under a hiking glove.

Tightening Type

Optimize insulation by applying the layering principle. Wearing liner gloves under your gloves creates several air pockets that effectively insulate your hands from the cold. The gloves must be big enough not to compress your fingers. This is because compression slows down blood flow in the fingers, which prevents them from staying warm.

How to effectively protect your hands from the cold

These gloves do not protect against the spread of viruses.
