【Hiking socks】
Relatively climbing, hiking is more complicated. The first is temperature. If it is a hot area in summer, you can choose quick-drying types such as cotton blends, or quick-drying of all chemical fibers.
Relatively speaking, all-chemical fiber quick-drying is more breathable. If the hiking time is relatively long, consider wear-resistant and easy to change and wash. All-chemical fiber is more wear-resistant and easier to dry than cotton blends; however, cotton blends are slightly better in terms of touch and deodorization. better.
Even in summer, we recommend socks with thicker towel bottoms. Wear and tear is the law of nature. The breeze can also fossilize quicksand for a hundred years, not to mention the soles of the feet that walk with more than 100 pounds.
Followed by the spring and autumn, the temperature is relatively pleasant, and hiking socks can be selected according to the summer. Or consider some irregular terry custom socks in style, socks with large terry area.
Then in winter, hiking in alpine areas, looking at most outdoor brands, when it comes to socks that need warmth, Merino's preferred fabrics, and of course there are special-shaped chemical fiber fabrics similar to Thermolite, which are warm and quick-drying, but they are basically mid-range products.
Consider the thickness of the socks and the level of merino content to match various temperature environments. Generally speaking, the higher the content of merino socks, the better, and choose products with no less than 50%.
Hiking socks are also not recommended for cotton socks, except for those who have porters and people who stay in hotels, they can continue to be willful. The main reason is that the wear resistance and perspiration are not up to standard. Of course, cotton-blend quick-drying socks are still relatively mainstream. Usually, the basic socks of outdoor brands use this combination.
There are also many varieties of running socks. Sports socks are different from outdoor socks. The outdoor comprehensive environment and state, traveling through mountains and waters, stop-and-go, uphill and downhill, the pace is naturally guided by the situation, wear and other aspects are all-round, and outdoor The environmental load is limited, and it is necessary to consider whether the product durability is sufficient to support the entire activity.
Sports socks don't need to consider thermal performance, they won't get cold during exercise, as long as heat dissipation and ventilation are considered, so the fabrics you choose are generally cool and quick-drying fabrics such as coolmax, but sports socks have higher requirements for fit. , so the socks need to be tighter, and the socks design needs to have a reasonable layout, local tightness will cause pressure and discomfort, only the overall tightness in the structure will be more comfortable.
