Pioneer Camp Merino Socks, navy

Navy merino socks that sit low on the ankle and keep feet covered on a damp morning. Soft wool fibres lie against the skin without crowding the boot, so the rest of the kit slides on and off without fuss. They are small, decisive things that tidy a kitbag and save a shiver on a mixed-weather walk.

On a long day they breathe where a thicker sock might trap heat. They will reach their limit when the activity becomes a wet scramble or an overnight bivvy. That is where a heavier insulated sock takes over. For most hikes and town-to-trail days they manage the job with quiet reliability.

One of 15 on the accessories rail in the Pioneer Camp wardrobe. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
