REVIEW: Dirk Wheaton ‘A bit over a year ago I started training in earnest for a long walk that I am taking later this year, the Camino de Santiago. Once I began getting some serious hours up in daily and weekend walks I started to refine my options for clothing, shoes and of course, my socks. Apart from the obvious decisions about comfort, the socks needed to be merino wool as they appear to be the only type of sock that can be washed at night and be ready to wear the next morning. This is important when I am only taking two pairs of socks in total. When you are going to walk for over a month and plan for the total backpack weight including a sleeping bag to come in under 6 kilos, everything has to perform well. There can be no passengers.I bought some very well regarded and highly priced brands, and all performed really well for the shorter walks or in any normal activity. But during summer, these fancied brands often fell short as pounding the pavement for several hours in temperatures in the high 30’s showed the construction was not suitable for softening feet in overheated conditions. One day I ended up with an imprint of a sock’s internal construction embedded into my sole, and that was from a very well regarded brand.I started to look at other varieties of merino socks and gave the Wilderness ‘Cape to Cape Light Hiker’ socks a try.
‘Absolutely the best sock during all conditions that my reasonably extensive trialling came up with’.
How do you make a great sock better?…knit Blister Free™ Profilen® yarn into the high abrasion toe and heel areas of the sock.
Our CAPE TO CAPE LIGHT HIKEReXtreme socks are the perfect companions for your hiking, climbing or walking adventures.
Why?
The CAPE TO CAPE LIGHT HIKEReXtremeutilize Wilderness Wear’s Blister Free™ system, where friction free Profilen® fibres are knitted into the heel and toes areas, ensuring you enjoy blister-free running.
Our WildernessWool™ reduces unpleasant foot odours too, while the synthetic fibres extend durability. And the men’s C2C will also impress with its fit. Thanks to the ergonomically, optimized 1/2 length sock height, which allows the cuff to sit perfectly below the calf muscle. The socks will fit perfectly without slipping down. Our SFS (Secure-Fit-System) prevents creasing and keeps the socks where they belong. There is also additional padding in the heel and toe area for good cushioning. Greater breathability is ensured by the webbing system that runs across the top of the foot area. This makes the men’s C2C the ideal companion for your feet, whether on a casual walk or on demanding hikes. Light weight, all day comfort. THE NATURAL PARADISE OF TASMANIA100% of the merino wool from this collection comes from Tasmania. The wool from this natural paradise is premium-quality and hard wearing. But just as important for us, this material is ethically and ecologically sound. We have very high expectations of the farmers. A large portion of their working time is committed to ensuring sustainable farm management and animal welfare. EXP – Machine washable, chlorine free, total easy care.
BUST: Measure the circumference of your chest. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
WAIST: Measure the circumference of your waist. Use the tape to circle your waist (sort of like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.)
HIP: Measure the circumference of your hips. Start at one hip and wrap the tape measure around your rear, around the other hip, and back to where you started. Make sure the tape is over the largest part of your hips.
INSIDE LEG: This is the distance from the uppermost inner part of your thigh to the bottom of your ankle. If you have a pair of pants that fit you perfectly, measure the inseam of the pants, again from the crotch to the hem.
