The key to having a great day in the mountains? Choosing the right hiking socks! Indeed, between sweat, moisture, cold, friction, frozen toes, and blisters, there are many risks of having your hike ruined by poorly chosen socks. To make sure this never happens again - whether you're trekking in the Alps, hiking in the Pyrenees, or embarking on a great adventure in a more exotic land - we have designed our range based on a totally innovative concept: for each specific climatic condition, there are perfectly adapted hiking socks.
Thermoregulation experts for over 20 years, we offer 5 models of technical, high-performance, and comfortable hiking socks, each with its own unique characteristics, natural fibers, and technologies, tailored to specific conditions ranging from -5 to 30°C, whether it’s hiking in the cold, in temperate climates, or on hot and arid ground.
TECHNICAL YET NATURAL HIKING SOCKS
Each hiking sock has been designed with unique characteristics, depending on its purpose to accompany you at -5° or 30°C, but they all converge on one common promise: their promise of technicality, performance, and comfort.
This promise is delivered through the technicality and naturalness of our hiking socks, real little gems of innovations not visible to the naked eye but noticeable with every step.
1. THE COMPOSITION: THE POWER OF PURE-IC NATURAL FIBER
To begin with, each Therm-ic hiking sock is made of Pure-ic, high-tech bio-based yarns, composed entirely of plant-based materials, designed for the next generation of hikers. Consuming 25% less CO2 than traditional polyamides, Pure-ic stands out for its incredible lightness, quick drying, elasticity synonymous with durability, and anti-odor properties.
2. THE DESIGN: FIGHTING SWEAT, PROMOTING BREATHABILITY
The design of our hiking socks was developed with a precise credo in mind: to fight against foot sweat at all costs, the number one enemy of your comfort as it causes cold and blisters. To do this, we have created an ultra-breathable ventilation system based on the combination of two major technologies.
The first is "MOISTURE VENT TECHNOLOGY". Its goal? To provide the foot with a breathable environment even when wrapped in the shoe. How? By giving it air with every movement, through a sock sole construction that evacuates moist air from the arch to the sides with each step.
The second is the network of "MICRO-CHANNELS" that runs through our hiking sock. Because once the moist air is expelled from the arch to the sides, it needs to be raised to be evacuated from the shoe. This, along with the sweat lodged in the calf and shin area.
3. FOR COMFORT: REINFORCEMENT PROTECTIONS
For each of our socks, whether they are designed for hiking at -5 or 30°C, we have placed imperceptible but effective reinforcements in strategic places! Where the main frictions occur: at the Achilles tendon, heel, and toes.
