Product Information
Full details
The Patagonia Heavyweight Knee Socks are designed for adults seeking superior thermal regulation and cushioning during cold-weather outdoor activities. These socks utilize high-quality Merino wool to provide maximum support and warmth in freezing conditions; however, their increased thickness means they are best suited for roomier footwear rather than tight-fitting technical boots.

FAQs
Can these socks be tumble dried?
It is highly recommended to air dry these socks flat to prevent potential shrinkage and damage to the Merino wool fibers.
Are these socks itchy like traditional wool?
No, these are made with fine-grade Merino wool, which is designed to be soft against the skin and non-irritating.
Do I need to wear a liner sock with these?
While not required, some users choose to wear a thin synthetic liner sock for added moisture management and friction reduction during long treks.
How should I store these during the off-season?
Store them clean and dry in a cool, dark place, preferably with cedar or a moth-repellent to protect the natural wool.
Are these suitable for everyday city wear?
While they provide great warmth, they are specifically engineered for outdoor activity and may feel too bulky for standard office or dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight inside boots
Adjust your boot lacing to a looser tension or ensure your footwear has sufficient volume to accommodate heavyweight wool socks.
Visible linting or shedding
This is common with new wool products; wash the socks inside out to reduce pilling and remove excess fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Patagonia Heavyweight Knee Socks, follow these care guidelines: Always machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural fibers of the Merino wool. For the best results, air dry the socks flat to prevent shrinkage and maintain their original shape and cushioning properties. Before wearing, ensure your boots are adjusted to accommodate the added thickness of the heavyweight fabric to prevent constriction, which can impede circulation and reduce warmth.
