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.

How comfortable is this backpack?

This backpack has a large compartment for your essentials, two zip pockets, one with an inner pocket for your valuables. A stretchy mesh pocket on the side also fits your water bottle or umbrella.

What is its storage capacity?

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).

Is this backpack waterproof?

The components are designed to withstand the demands of walking outdoors. That’s why we test the durability of the materials and the resistance of the bag: nothing is left to chance. We even simulate your adventures with our hiker testers!

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

Sock Height

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.
Our commitment: To offer you long-lasting products that you can use on all your nature walks.

Ventilation

Carry the bag horizontally when hiking for easy access to the outside pocket.

Ease of use

Designed for occasional hikes on easy trails. 

The volume of each backpack is measured using a standardized method: the main compartment and all the pockets are filled with little balls. These balls are then emptied into a graduated container to get the equivalent volume in litres.

How is volume measured?

1 - Loosen all the straps (straps, belt, and load adjuster straps).
2 - Put the backpack on.
3 - Tighten the shoulder straps.
4 - Adjust the load adjuster straps as needed.

How to adjust your backpack

Put heavy items at the bottom. Pack your clothes around these items. Keep your waterproof jacket and/or fleece in an easy-to-access location. Place small frequently used items in the pockets (sunscreen, map, glasses, etc.). 

How to pack your backpack

The water-repellent components allow you to continue walking or hiking in light rain for short periods. Note: This backpack is not watertight or waterproof and does not come with a rain cover. 
To keep your belongings dry on longer walks or hikes, we recommend the following product: 10 L to 20 L Hiking Backpack Rain Cover (reference 8772113), which can be found on our website.

Waterproofing

The following components were validated in the lab: fabric, buckles, straps, foam, and zippers. For example, we test the fabric’s resistance to abrasion and tearing, colourfastness, and waterproofing. We also check the resistance of the construction using a dummy that reproduces a hiker’s movements to replicate several years of wear and tear.

Tested for optimal durability

Thanks to your feedback, we improved the design of the 10 L NH 50 backpack.
We added a double zipper on the main compartment and a larger pocket bottom on the outside pocket. The aim is to not lose your belongings when opening your bag. 
And of course, the price hasn’t increased!
