Whatever outdoor clothing you have in your wardrobe, the range of Smartwool socks and hats that we have available here at Outdoor Look will make a welcome addition. Direct from the Colorado Rockies, where just like here in the UK you can get four seasons in a day, these socks and hats are manufactured so that they withstand whatever the real world can throw at them.

At the heart of every Smartwool sock and hat is one of nature’s most amazing fibres, namely Merino wool. When this is used properly it can be considered one of the most adaptable fibres available, considered to be better at managing moisture than cotton, smarter than many synthetics and more comfortable in a variety of weather conditions. The company has been working with this amazing material for nearly twenty years combining it with the latest technology and design innovations.

You might thick a sock is a sock but this range incorporates a supportive system that provides a secure, comfortable fit around the heel arch and instep. The maximum amount of wool is utilised as more wool against the skin equates to more comfort. The WOW technology has been used in many of the socks, which means that nylon has been replaced in the high impact zones with more Merino wool, namely at the heel and forefoot, so that you can enjoy more wool comfort.

This same technology has been utilised in the hats such as the Smartwool Ridgeway Beanie Hat. Mixing merino wool and acrylic in equal measures in a single layer knit construction with the addition of an interior headband liner provides warmth and style to keep your head warm whatever the temperature.

All the products are Zque accredited, which is a program that has been designed to ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability for growers, improve animal welfare and provides a means to trace end products back to their source. So you humble sock can be traced back to the farmers in the southern hemisphere where the wool is sourced.

So why not check out this new range on the website, or pop into our Macclesfield outlet and see what we can tempt you with, we are sure that this is one outdoor clothing range all outdoor enthusiasts will want to add to their wardrobe.
