In outdoor sports, some people think that as long as thick socks are worn, at least two pairs of cotton socks can provide adequate protection to the feet. This is reasonable, because two pairs of socks can be better attached. Attached to the feet, it weakens the friction between the feet and the socks. In this way, another problem is ignored. After a person walks a long distance, the feet will swell by 7%-8%, and the two pairs will be set together. The socks will be tightly hooped on the entire foot, even the part above the ankle is also wrapped in, causing the blood circulation of the foot to be impeded, which may cause some foot diseases. In winter or extremely cold areas, it will cause unnecessary frostbite.


In extremely cold conditions such as snow climbing and skiing, the purchase of outdoor socks must be based on warm fibers such as wool. The structure should use higher and tighter loops, and the waist of the socks should be longer, even to the knees. The best material to mix with wool is thermal fiber like THERMOLITE, and there are some NYLON and LYCRA. This kind of extreme zone socks is better without COOLMAX. In order to ensure the perspiration effect, you can add a pair of COOLMAX with high content. Long fiber lining socks.
For winter outdoor activities in low-altitude areas, such as camping and crossing (except ice climbing), wool and COOLMAX can be used as the main material when purchasing outdoor socks. The structure depends on the intensity of the activity and the length of time. Long-distance and For activities with more days, you can choose middle-waist socks with higher loops and denser loops. If you have special warmth needs, you can add a pair of thin long-fiber lining socks with higher THERMOLITE content.
When climbing, foot protection and comfort are very important. Once the foot is uncomfortable or injured, it will not only delay the trip, but may even increase the risk of danger. Therefore, picking a suitable pair of hiking socks is a necessary pre-trip preparation before climbing. The first idea is: what shoes to wear with what socks!
