The Lasting Merino Heavyweight Crew Socks are thick, high trekking socks made from a Merino wool and SILTEX blend primed to keep your feet dry.

These socks feature:

• Plush knit fabric - the foot and shin is reinforced with a three-layer plush knit to improve comfort when walking, and durability in the most stressed areas
• Instep bond - improves foot ventilation and overall heat balance
• Super-fine 16.5 micron wool - the finest merino wool that breeding farms currently produce. It eliminates the itchy, scratchy feeling common to thicker wool. For comparison, human hair has a diameter of 100 microns.
• Thermoregulation - the many tiny air bags between merino wool fibres creates a microclimate, helping to regulate your body temperature so you don't get too hot or too cold
• Antibacterial properties - the unique natural consistency of wool fibres (90% keratin protein) does not support bacterial growth; as a result, your merino wool clothing won't smell bad as quickly and you will not have to wash them as often
• Breathable moisture elimination - super-fine merino wool is a natural hollow fibre that has high-grade permeability for excellent moisture elimination. The surface of the wool fibre is hydrophobic, repelling sweat and evaporating the moisture quickly, since wool is breathable even when worn under layers thanks to its irregular surface. If the wool fabric does get damp, it can hold up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp or clammy.
• MULESING FREE certified yarn - mulesing is the removal of strips of wool-bearing skin around the buttocks to prevent the parasitic infection flystrike. Many animal welfare groups oppose this controversial practice. Lasting Merino's wool is certified mulesing free.
