It’s beautiful out! Time to get out and do some hiking! If you’re looking for the perfect hiking socks head to Hartville Marketplace! Alamar Alpaca featuring The Pilot’s Wife has a gr
eat selection of alpaca socks.
Alpaca fiber, with its hollow-core, traps air for greater insulation in any weather. Alpaca is very soft and luxurious yet is incredibly strong, providing heavy-duty performance.
Alpaca is a lightweight natural fiber, and therefore alpaca socks weigh less than other socks, so wearers carry a lighter load. Alpaca is hypoallergenic, does not absorb water and thus alpaca socks do not foster bacterial growth in the sock, so there is less chance of foot odor. Alpaca socks are machine washable or easily hand washable on the trail in cold water and quick to dry.
Alpaca is great for summer use because of the huge thermal capacity, it is in fact very comfortable. It does a wonderful job wicking moisture away from the foot in the heat!
Your feet are the most important part of any hiking setup so don’t skimp when it comes to the socks you choose! In a lifetime, each person logs an average 70,000 miles on their feet. That’s why proper foot care, and wearing the right socks and shoes is essential. If you treat your feet right, they will treat you in kind!
