Quechua Warm Hiking Socks – SH500 MOUNTAIN MID

Our engineers have created this warm, breathable and comfortable sock for regular hiking in cold weather. Ideal for snowshoes.These socks will keep your feet warm and dry when hiking in the snow in cold weather thanks to their Merino wool content and the knitted vents on the upper.

The properties of wool

Thanks to its fine structure and irregular, flaky surface, which lets it store a lot of air and through which water vapour can diffuse, wool has unique properties in terms of moisture management and thermal regulation. Its ability to store and release moisture, as well as its buffering effect, make it an insulating, comfortable material that is well suited to hiking socks.

How do I choose the right footwear for snow hiking?

To be well equipped in winter, we recommend that you follow these guidelines :
Warmth: warmth provided by a warm pair of socks (ideally containing a suitable percentage of wool)
Breathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimise moisture.
Boot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.

Pack of 2 pairs

This model is sold in packs of 2 pairs of socks in the same colour.

How to correctly select hiking socks

Benefiting from the properties of the elastane used in all our socks, they conform to your feet and stay firmly in place during wear. Given that the length, width and volume of our feet is always different, we advise you to try on your socks in store before purchase and then to test your socks before setting off on a long hike.
