Norsewear pioneered the use of Possum/Merino in high performance outdoor socks. The latest Possum Hiker Crew is ideal if you need a little extra insulation on the trail without sacrificing breathability and moisture control. The fully cushioned sole provides extra comfort and protection for extended time in the backcountry. Many customers say this is the most comfortable trail sock available.
Merino wool is used because it provides insulation that keeps you warm in winter and breathability that keeps you cool in summer. Merino also resists odour and delivers great moisture management keeping your feet drier, more comfortable, and less prone to blisters. Merino fibres are so fine, they gently bend when in contact with your skin, providing softness and comfort.
Possum fibre has some unique characteristics. Possum fibres have a hollow core not only making them very light, but also trapping a tunnel of air, providing extraordinary insulation and warmth. Because the outside of the fibre is smooth it feels soft and silky delivering great comfort, but it's also very resilient and abrasion-resistant delivering excellent durability.
