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 chafing

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

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.

How to correctly select hiking socks

Our hiking socks are guaranteed for two years.

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!

Waterproofing 

Men's hiking jackets

Merino wool offers a good balance between warmth and compactness.

Warmth

Ultra-fine (18.5 microns), super soft merino wool. Does not itch.

Softness

The highly absorbent nature of wool helps keep the head dry.

This merino wool beanie is designed to keep you warm during your winter hikes and everyday errands.

Type of Beanie

beanie compatible

Breathability

Reinforced fibre for lasting durability. Uses a new yarn structure in which a polyamide yarn forms a thin sheath that protects the merino wool fibres against friction and cuts.

How was resistance designed?

Winter Hiking Gear

Polyamide fabric reinforcement reduces abrasion and increases heel stability.

French terry knit under the foot for a more comfortable fit.

Asymmetrical fit (left and right socks) for improved alignment.

shoes with left or right mark

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.

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.

With Wrist Strap

This pole was designed and validated by our Mont Blanc team.
The pole is equipped with an external locking mechanism for precise, fast adjustment. Combined with a pushpin system so it unfolds and folds automatically. 
The handle allows multiple grips: along the tube for climbs and steep terrain, with the wrist strap for efficient pushing, and on the knob for descents.
Made from 7075-T6 aluminum for controlled weight.

Design

While holding the grip, your arm should bend at a 90-degree angle. To do this: 
- Pull the bottom strand all the way out until the auto pushpin (metal button) locks. 
- Open the lever of the external blocker. 
- Slide the tube to the desired length. 
- Close the lever. 
Never exceed the Stop line to avoid breaking the pole.

How to adjust your poles to the correct length

This hiking pole is designed to help you balance, propel yourself, and distribute weight between your arms and legs.
To be on the safe side, check before you set off and at regular intervals that your pole is locked in place by simulating heavy bumps. If you notice that your pole keeps sliding out of place, the locking mechanism turn ring needs adjusting. Open the lever and turn the knob a quarter to a half turn.
Do not put it on your backpack in case of a storm.

Directions for use

Proper maintenance of your pole will ensure that it functions optimally and lasts longer.
After use, if water has penetrated the pole, remove the strands and allow them to dry. If necessary, clean the dust or mud with water or a dry brush. Once dry, you can reassemble the strands.
Do not oil or grease the mechanisms.

Care instructions

Decathlon sells hiking and trekking poles individually. This is because they are used in different ways. Some people prefer to use only one pole. If someone uses a pair and one pole breaks, they can replace one broken pole without buying a new pair.

Why is the pole sold individually?

Forclaz hiking poles have a wide range of compatible accessories and spare parts. So you can enjoy it as long as possible.
