The Lorpen Merino Hike Midweight Crew Sock is designed for active adults who demand comfort and durability during long-distance trekking. Featuring RWS-certified merino wool, these socks provide exceptional odor resistance and moisture management to keep feet fresh on the trail. While they offer superior comfort through light padding, users should note that the wool-nylon blend requires specific care compared to synthetic-only alternatives to maintain the integrity of the natural fibers.

Yes, their soft feel and temperature-regulating properties make them excellent for everyday use in addition to hiking.
These socks are sized according to standard adult sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or use thick boot liners, consider the sizing guide provided for your specific boot volume.
RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which ensures the wool comes from farms that manage land responsibly and treat sheep humanely.
It is not recommended. Heat can shrink merino wool and damage the elastane blend. Air drying is the best way to extend the lifespan of the product.
The inclusion of nylon and Lycra provides the necessary durability and stretch to ensure the sock retains its shape and does not sag after long hours of movement.
This is often due to detergent residue. Ensure you are using a wool-specific soap and check that you have fully rinsed the socks during the wash cycle.
Some light pilling is normal for natural merino fibers as they adjust to friction. Trim pills with a fabric shaver and avoid over-drying in the machine.
To ensure your socks last, turn them inside out before washing to help remove trapped skin cells and debris from the interior. Always wash in cold or lukewarm water using a gentle, wool-safe detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the merino wool of its natural moisture-wicking and anti-microbial properties. For drying, flat-air drying is recommended to prevent the elastic fibers from breaking down under intense machine heat. These socks are highly compatible with most hiking boots and trail runners due to their midweight profile.
