Long merino wool socks

Long legged socks are suitable for many types and uses. They are at their best when you need extra warmth in the legs. The high shaft provides effective ankle protection. Snugly fitted socks do not roll in use. That's why the high shaft is also great for boots.

The long-legged socks are also perfect for home activities and yoga, for example. Roll the sock up to the ankle or pull the stem straight. MERINO 90 in particular is a popular sock for the home - in both long and short stems.

Thin merino wool socks

Thin merino wool socks are multi-purpose socks that work for everyday wear, outdoor activities and sports. The antibacterial sock does not absorb odours, making it more comfortable to wear. The thin merino sock can be worn as such or as an understocking for layering.

There is plenty of choice in thin socks. North Outdoor has a range of seamed and sleeveless sea socks to choose from. The thickness of the socks can also vary. For the perfect sports sock, check out the Intense Pro collection. The MERINO 60 is the perfect everyday sock. Thanks to its dark colour, MERINO 60 is also a good dress sock.

Layer up!

The same layering possibilities and functionality apply to socks as to any other garment. The air between the layers adds a lot of warmth. The key is to choose the right socks for the job. One of the best features of merino wool is its effective moisture wicking properties. Merino wool socks never feel cold - even when slightly damp. Layering also gives you room for adjustment. If you get hot, you can always take off the second layer. Layering also helps you get more out of your socks. Thin and thick socks work on their own or as a very warm combination.
