• Starts with the finest grade of Merino wool (considered the Cashmere of Wool), specially selected and treated with the revolutionary SmartWool process – removing the microscopic ends of the fibers which are the cause of "shrinkage"
• The fibers in the sock contain up to 2,000 porous membranes per inch – when knitted into socks, these tiny membranes create literally millions of microscopic air pockets which are the key to thermo-regulation (temperature control and evaporation of moisture)
• The Merino wool fibers used in SmartWool socks are also longer than other conventional wool sock fibers, this extra length creates a knitted yarn that is itch-free and silky soft to the touch
• Knitted so only 100% wool touches your skin, with stretch nylon and Lycra^® supporting the outside for resilience
• Construction:
• Top: 3 x 1 rib welt top with nylon holds the sock up and in place - high density padding assures a comfortable, snug fit and shin protection
• Instep: High density padding protects against lace pressure
• Side Panel: Flat knit reduces compression - provides better fit and maximizes ventilation
• Arch brace: Knit with nylon for increased support and comfort
• Sole: High density padding cushions against shock, blisters and abrasions
• Easy care – machine wash and dry
• 100% Guaranteed not to itch or shrink and to outperform all other socks or send them back to Duke Designs within 30 days for your money back
