Mens Celliant Bamboo “Reliant” Socks

This gorgeous blue jacket is made to be worn outdoors as a mid layer. I’ve always wanted a merino wool jacket and this zip-up jacket is perfect for running, hiking and travelling. It’s made from 100% pure merino wool but feels very light, thin and comfortable to wear over a merino tee. It’s highly insulating, and I feel extremely warm during the evenings when I’m wearing this jacket. This gorgeous top features a Ponte merino wool that provides subtle warmth and wicks away moisture, dries quickly, and is naturally odour-resistant.nWhat I love most about this top is that it’s extremely versatile and can be worn for casual everyday situations. I wore this on a trip to the wilderness of Hong Kong the other day, and it protected me from the strong winter winds and the light rain that day. It’s one of the best items that you can possibly get if you want to travel the world and go hiking, and I’m really happy with the fitting and design too.

Thick socks aren’t my thing, so these are great for me. I wear them everyday. The bamboo feels really good on your feet.

Love them

It’s been awhile in replying to you but I wanted to knock over 200km to assess properly. I’ve had a persistent blister on the outside of my toe that has always required taping on my long run but not with the WW socks I have found these eXtreme socks to be great while offering some cushioning as well. So out with the old USA made socks and in with these locally made running socks. Thanks WW keep up the great work.

These socks are the best! So soft and warm and long enough to wear under my boots. I love them.

Really amazing – so happy I purchased!

Got this last week. Delivery came so fast. Trying it all out at Buller on the weekend 👍

This is based on an out of the bag fit. I’m thinking I might need to exchange for the 2XL depending on what you think. The jacket is a great fit in both girth, shoulders and core length and the collar is perfect as it doesn’t bulk up under the chin area. I probably find the sleeve length just a wee bit too short and it comes back on the forearm if I stretch out my arms (simulate reaching up high for example). Do you know if the 2XL is significantly bigger in the body and if not, does it run any extra length on the arms? If it’s at all possible, I’d like to try on the 2XL just to compare – the XL is still all tagged up and has only the one trial fit.

I began running marathons/long distance running approximately nine years ago. I have completed eight Melbourne Marathons. My biggest problem was developing huge blisters on the balls of my feet. After numerous unsuccessful attempts such as changing shoes, charcoal inner soles, and many types of socks, one of my running companions finally recommended I try Merino Wool Running socks. I did this and went and spoke with the operations manager from Wilderness Wear factory in Preston Victoria. Being a runner himself he understood the anxiety and pain I was incurring. He said he had a pair of socks in which he would guarantee would solve and eliminate my problem with blisters. I immediately purchased a pair of Wilderness Wear Atmosphere Q Running Socks. I have been doing my weekly 4 hour training runs with these socks for the past four weeks without a single blister. Upon completion of these runs my feet are still dry and blister free. The socks are extremely comfortable and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM. Thank you Wilderness Wear.nnRegards,nnThomas Munson

Got 2 pair of your socks from a shop in Nagambie (Black Merino Fleece) and they are the solution to a long standing problem I have had with finding good socks to wear all day while having my feet in Gum Boots or waders. I inspect bridges for councils and need to wear either gum boots or waders all day, which without really good socks is a nightmare.nThey are without doubt the best socks I have ever worn, so I went back to get some more a week later.nI have tried all sorts of socks over the years and wool has always been the best fibre. But among all of the wool socks I have tried yours are clearly well ahead of the pack.nWell done and my feet thank you greatly. They may be a little expensive but they are well worth it.

A bit over a year ago I started training in earnest for a longnwalk that I am taking later this year, the Camino de Santiago.nOnce I began getting some serious hours up in daily andnweekend walks I started to refine my options for clothing,nshoes and of course, my socks. Apart from the obviousndecisions about comfort, the socks needed to be merino wool asnthey appear to be the only type of sock that can be washed at nightnand be ready to wear the next morning. This is important when I amnonly taking two pairs of socks in total. When you are going to walknfor over a month and plan for the total backpack weight including ansleeping bag to come in under 6 kilos, everything has to performnwell. There can be no passengers.I bought some very well regardednand highly priced brands, and all performed really well for the shorternwalks or in any normal activity. But during summer, these fanciednbrands often fell short as pounding the pavement for several hoursnin temperatures in the high 30’s showed the construction was notnsuitable for softening feet in overheated conditions. One day Inended up with an imprint of a sock’s internal construction embeddedninto my sole, and that was from a very well regarded brand .I startednto look at other varieties of merino socks and gave the Wildernessn‘Cape to Cape Light Hiker’ socks a try.

Three pairs of Wilderness Wear Cape to Cape Light Hiker socks have arrived in the post quite quickly after ordering, thank you. I purchased my first two pairs on the recommendation of one of your staff members when purchasing a back pack. The local manufacturing and Australian wool that produced them, with enough Lycra and nylon to allow them to wear well and wash simply attracted me at the time. The impression of a quality sock has been proven to me by close to daily use of my first two pairs in my work boots for nearly six months, without any significant signs of wear. Whilst not cheap, I’m committing to going for quality to ensure wise use of resources. It’s great to be able to buy such good quality.

I received my delivery of socks today. Thank you very much. Great service and my Dad will love a few more pairs of his favourite socks!

Wow. This fabric is the duck’s guts and was certainly worth the wait. I did a few runs over Easter and there is absolutely zero chafe and the wicking ability is excellent. The compression held up and overall it’s just about the best thing I’ve ever run in. My only comment is that I’d probably spec these as being for someone with a max 5’10″/5’11” frame, particularly on the top. The legs aren’t really an issue length-wise as I like them to be a little off the ankle anyway (I appreciate that this is subjective) though an extra 25mm wouldn’t go astray, however I do find the top to be too short in both arm and torso. I’m not in possession of a washboard stomach by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets revealed pretty easily if I raise my arms at all!! My 2 bobs worth is probably 25mm in the arms and double that in the torso.

I was introduced to the Wilderness Wear brand in 2015, when I purchased a One Planet backpack in Melbourne and was shown your Coolmax Outdoor socks. I had never spent $30+ on one pair of socks before let alone two pairs, but I fell in love with the comfort of these pillow like socks.

Hi, I just wanted to say that I am very happy with all the items I have purchased. nThe frost-free socks are amazing! I don’t work in a freezer but we live in an old brick and tile with wooden floors which gets freezing in the winter. These socks will be a life saver (or a toe saver?). I have ordered another pair for my husband as he was coveting mine.nI will definitely be a returning customer.

We went skiing/snowboarding this past week in Siberia, in weather that ranged from around -5 to -20 degrees Celsius, and spent 2 evenings and 2 full days on the slopes. With some nights having the wind pick up, it was definitely colder than -20 degree C. I wore your WW socks for the entire time (by the way, they did not stink), and wore the 100% merino wool base layer you gifted me with just a down jacket on top. No problems at all; felt warm and comfortable throughout the entire temperature range.
Yana and her brother really love the socks. We’re all sold and proud WW members. I will gear up with WW for both Yana and myself when back in Melbourne, and spread the good word about your company.

I recently bought a pair of Men’s Fusion Max and Larapinta Hiker eXtreme socks for a hiking trip to North America. Both socks performed extremely well and were comfortable to wear on long hikes with great cushioning. The Larapinta socks are very warm and the length is perfect for cold climates. Overall I found these Wilderness Wear socks to be great and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs serious quality hiking socks.

Training for ultrarunning I have spent plenty of time and money looking for the illusive perfect run sock this is as close as I’ve found. Here is why – comfort and construction are first rate, fit is perfect with most other short run socks length is too short allowing shoe heal rub and trail trash to get in, these sit just above the ankle; cushion is ample reducing fatigue also preventing the dreaded lost toenails trailrunners get; no blistering whatsoever even running through water, whilst raining or extreme heat which means no more toe socks, value for money these will outlast several pairs of cotton/polyester socks while outperforming them in every way; merino socks I’d wore previously were a compromise of comfort/ durability/ functionality WW have brought all the good features together at the same price; support a locally owned and ethically made product of Australia.

I am now a total Wilderness Wear sock convert. Wore my new 10K’s to gym this morning (I’m a 15 year wearer of another brand) and was super impressed with the comfort and support. Great item.

I’ve used the Men’s 10K socks frequently for light trail running, light hiking and dog walking
Excellent sock for these purposes. Fit is great, hotspots are non-existent. Cushioning is sufficient. Height is good for when a no-show is too short.
No complaints to make sorry! I’m not sure the 10K extreme is ever likely to be necessary for me in the shoes I currently use but if I was doing a big pack-rafting trip on light shoes I might use them. I’d recommend them to friends who blister and have suggested Nicole Paton give them a crack when she has a chance due to her high turnover of running gear and the blister prevention required for ultra-trail events.

Congratulations guys. It’s still really warm up in SE Qld. My Beast2 socks bought start of last year are getting hot and thin. I ordered some new Beasts last Friday. They arrived today which is just awesome supply chain work from team Wilderness Wear. Thank you for your great work and of course kudos to Aust. Post who are working through Covid-19 limitations and big volumes. So big ups to WW and Aust. Post. It means I’m in my new Beasts 2 socks on my next work day and can have comfortable feet.

Perhaps the warmest socks in my wardrobe right now, as they’re made from 83% merino wool and 15% nylon, which creates a perfect balance of warmth and stretchiness. I love how the socks are quite long, so I can wear them underneath my boots during the winter season. These socks are sure to protect you against the harshness of the weather, and are so comfortable too. I have to say, Wilderness Wear stocks extremely high-quality socks.

These are the warmest and most comfortable paid of socks I’ve ever owned! Being stuck in Melbourne lockdown I gave them a solid test over Winter at home and both my housemates ended up buying a pair as well. Will definitely be buying a pair for my mum for Xmas.

Merino Socks are great!nI purchased a few pairs of the Merino Fleece socks! Fantastic! Comfortable and warm and Australian made! Thoroughly recommend these.

I started following Frances Antonia on Instagram and became curious about your socks through seeing them on there. So I ordered some on Friday evening and didn’t expect them to come so quickly. My husband and I both tried out our new socks today and were very happy! They were so comfortable. I’m set for my upcoming trip to Tassie, and my husband is happy that he has found comfortable socks to wear with his work boots. We’ll probably be ordering some more before long!nAnd we love that they are all Australian!

Merino Fleece Socks

My husband is a truck driver in Tasmania and these are the only socks he has worn in his work boots for at least 20 years

Really amazing – so happy I purchased!

Fusion Light socks… A sad story, my dog really liked these socks and devoured them.nI quite liked them as general wear socks in the time I got with them. Too short to be good ski socks unfortunatelynBest used light hiking and general all-day use in my opinion – may have been good for pack rafting.

I’d been meaning to give you some feedback on the Merino Fusion Max socks. Used one pair for 6 cold, wet and snowy days on the Overland. Was really impressed by their warmth, minimal water absorption and that they didn’t get that polypro odour. Was hard to leave my Overland hikers at home, but really liked the MF Max. Think only days I had mildly unhappy feet were day 5 (6 hours of waist deep trail breaking in the snow) and day 6 (5 hours of walking in snowmelt/creeks over boot height).

The WW multisport has become my go-to sock for running, mountain biking, hiking and everyday use they are just so comfortable. WW have taken great care to make a quality and stylish product with longevity in mind, reinforced in the right places (namely heal & toe) cushioned yet provides good pedal feel for cycling while retaining new look for general day to day use. My initial thought was how thick the sock was but as is the advantage of merino its provided warmth in cold wet conditions and kept cool in the heat wicking moisture away and staying blister free.

Tested throughout season in resort, side-country and back-country snow camping on Feathertop
Excellent weight for general Aussie conditions – I will probably get myself a lighter set for spring touring and maybe a Merino 260 for dead of winter, snow camping
Crotch design on leggings is excellent for skinning – I often find that leggings ride down through the day and restrict my stride length. No issue with these
Comfort – 100%.

My only complaint could possibly be that the sleeves are very slightly too short for me to comfortable use the thumb holes. I have long monkey arms and don’t like using thumb holes in general anyway so no big dealnThey really do deal with moisture and odour pretty well. I spent 5 continuous days in them recently. After coming back, they pass the sniff test without too much eye watering.nSomehow the shirt survived me using it as an outer layer due to ridiculously high temperature on the Feathertop trip. This doesn’t seem like a big deal but my pack has a mesh back panel that has a reputation for chewing up wool and softer fabric and my split-board edges swing forward and cut the back of my triceps during stretches on crampons so I was quite impressed.

The WW Base layers were all extremely comfortable and soft.nNot itchy at all. As there was no laundry facility or even showersnas we climbed higher, the clothes’ odour-resistance was ESSENTIALnand very obvious. They simply didn’t smell and they also dried verynquickly. I found it really amazing that the same top kept me warmnwhen it was cold, and kept me cool when it was hot. I wore the pairnof long johns at night as a pj and they kept me very warm’.n‘I found the merino fusion top very interesting. It has all the qualitiesnof a merino top, warm and comfortable, but not as soft and doesn’tncling to the body as much. I feel it’s more suitable as a top layernwith a lighter weight merino underneath.

I wore the MerinoFusion 190 Long Sleeve Zip most mornings during our run and cycle across Australia. It was all I needed during the cool morning hours from 4AM to just after sunrise when we’d stop to brew up some coffee off to the side of the track. I’d put it on again first thing in the evening when we finished the day and were setting up camp to keep the chill off. On rest days, I didn’t really have many spare clothes to wear while doing laundry, so I’d often hang out in the 1/4 zip all day, but it never gathered an odour. Back in the U.S.A. I’ve worn it on several cycling trips and find it to be the perfect layer over a wool t-shirt or on bare skin as it’s not itchy like some wool products. I’ve been a big fan of wool for many years now and felt proud and happy to be wearing Wilderness Wear’s 200% Australian wool products across the Outback

Kept me warm on a windy, frosty day on the slopes

My products arrived!nFeedback as requested….nMate… really impressed with the quality. Top notch finish and fabrics.nI love, love, love my new 190 long sleeve switch hoody. As promised by you….smooth as. It’s perfect. Fits nicely. Couldn’t be happier.nLove the thickness, warmth and quality of the Duo Fusion 300 long sleeve crew top. The XL fit is at the moment, a fraction tighter around my chunky (slightly porky) upper body but I can kinda live with that and possibly, with a bit more of my daily swimming now, it might become a perfect fit in a few weeks. I like my cheeses too much! Don’t get me wrong…I do love it my 300.nReally appreciate the (your) 200% Aussie marketing stamp….good stuff…! That is a great differential …hammer it home.nJon….May you and your team be happy and well. Your fabrics are marvellous!nI’ll be back for much more of your stuff.nLove you all there!

The Fusion Duo 300 tops are spot on and I find the extra length in the torso is perfect for additional warmth around the hips/kidney area. They’re a 100% fit for my lanky frame – I run out at about 6′ 4″ on a good day – with good sleeve length down to the wrists.

Just a quick line to firstly thank you for the generous time you afforded me in providing a tour of the WW engine room. It was fantastic to gain a small insight into what goes into your product, and I only hope my voice is loud enough to help spread the word – I kid you not, your socks are the best in the world!nWith Melbourne’s weather being true to self, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to give the new DUO top a decent workout. I’ve used it on a couple of hikes, and on a couple of early morning runs in brisk weather. It’s fantastic. I don’t know whether I lucked out body-shape wise, but the fit is first rate. There’s ample length in the torso to fall over the hips, and sleeve length is spot on with the cuff being neat enough to pull and hold on the forearms. I recall you suggesting that there might be some fitment changes around the neck and chest, but for this bloke at least, the fit is perfect.nI was wondering how it might perform with the merino as the outer (don’t know why, but I just assumed it would be the inner), but it wicks wonderfully and I was really surprised as to how well it went with wind chill protection. First rate.

Kept me warm and dry. Say no more!

I’m loving the MerinoFusion Light – wearing the base layers every day, not just when cycling. In fact it’s awesome! I have worn the fusion light top out sailing but as a cycling top it was amazing! I’ve ridden it a number of times. Its ability to wick perspiration is better than I have ever worn. My polyester mesh bibs straps underneath were wet from perspiration but the fusion was still dry – I was wishing the bib straps were also made from the fusion fabric

I’ve just got back from my trip around the Larapinta. And the performance of the T-shirt Fusion 60 over the whole week hiking has been excellent. The wicking of the fabric was unbelievable and aid me during the unseasonable hot days. Also its breathability kept me cool under the sun and quite warm during the evening. I wore the T-shirt during the days and the evenings since the expected nights around 0C did not occur. Moreover, after 7 days of heavy usage the clothing barely had any smell so I can assure you that its antibacterial properties also worked well.nnAgain thank you! Your company has developed an incredible new fabric that sustained really tough conditions over a whole week of walking an average of 6 to 7 hours, 20 km per day, carrying 18 kg and day temperatures of 28 to 30 C”

For the past month I have been trying out the Wilderness Wear MerinoFusion Light 160 Short Sleeve Tee Top which may seem strange because those of you that have followed this blog for a while will know that I don’t wear short sleeved tops when I hike. I like the protection that long sleeved tops provide from the elements, from insects and ticks, and from scratchy undergrowth. However there are times that I make an exception and do wear short sleeved tops and on these rare occasions this is now my top of choice.nnUsually when I start my reviews I tend to get the negative aspects out of the way and with this top I was struggling to find any. The only things that I can fault is that it’s a short sleeved which as I said is not my usual form of garment. From what I see on the trail the majority of hikers do opt for short sleeve during the warmer weather so this is unlikely to be a negative to most people. Secondly there appears to be only one colour choice at the moment which is the one shown in this review but I like this colour.nnNow for the pluses. Firstly Wilderness Wear is an Australian owned Company that also manufactures in Australia. While I like to support local companies I’ll only do so if the product stands the test and this one does.nnThis top is made from a blend of Merino Wool (50%) and Polypropylene(50%), hence it’s name ‘MerionoFusion’. The idea here it that this hybrid material provides the best of both worlds in that the smell often associated with wearing synthetic garments over long periods is minimised, the garment stays soft to the touch and feels very comfortable on, it continues to keep you warm even when wet but at the same time wicks moisture away from your body on those days when you start to sweat. In addition the use of a synthetic hybrid material means that its cheaper than garments that are 100% wool. A good indication here is that I have been wearing this top on average for about four hours a day over the last 10 days as I do this review and it still doesn’t still doesn’t smell like many garments would do. In fact it smells less than the pure Merino Wilderness Wear Cumulo 150 Long sleeve Tee Top which is what I wear the majority of the time.nnAs far as comfort goes this top crept up on me. It feels really comfortable to wear and in a matter of days wearing this I just found myself picking this top up because I liked it so much. This top is classed as a lightweight top and while it’s marginally warmer than my Wilderness Wear Cumulo 150 Long sleeve Tee Top it felt right even on hot days.nnThe fit is classed as athletic and the XL size (Rainforest colour) top shown in the images below fits well although I usually prefer my tops on the tight size so the next time I replace this top I’ll do so with a size L.nnLike all the Wilderness Wear tops that I have worn they are generous in the length of the Torso. So many other manufacturers skimp on the body length and they tend to come untucked which becomes annoying on long hikes. The stitching is a bright blue in colour and is flat locked so it doesn’t chafe. I also love the pattern on this top which is created by the manufacturing process rather than being a print. The colour is also pretty smick, not that its going too impact what it does, but that’s a bonus.nnAs said at the start of this review the Wilderness Wear MerinoFusion Light 160 Short Sleeve Tee Top has now become my short sleeved top of choice and one that I’m happy to recommend for those times of the year where you aren’t looking for something to keep the cold out.

MerinoFusion Light 160 Short Sleeve -nGreat on warmer days for ski touring climbs, and cooler days for running. I really rate these and have hammered them every weekend since I got them. They are probably my favourite item so far. The only negative I could find is the fit. I reckon there’s room for a slightly smaller size below the small I have. I find them just a tad loose with a slight tendency for the collar to pull back/sit too high at the front. Mostly this isn’t an issue – for snow it’s preferable in my opinion to have the relaxed fit. However in thicker vegetation, particularly when moving at speed without the buffering assistance of a pack, I find they can tend to get hung-up occasionally.

I did yesterday evening/night a hiking “full moon” tour and wear the Overland Hiker socks, you send me as a bonus. They a really fantastic and have a great soft comfort. I am really surprised about the comfort and functionality of this sock.

Well, a dual Wilderness Wear review!!! The Overland Hiker socks and the Chameleon Strider Shell jackets!nI was fortunate enough to win a pair of the socks – and left it until this weekend to give them a thorough test! A 4 Day Hike to Kia Ora Hut on the Overland Track in Tasmania.nI put the socks on at home in the morning – boy were they comfy, so soft and warm! Drove off to Lake St Clair, and after the usual bumpy ferry ride, we started the walk to the first hut (Windy Ridge Hut). Weather would be considered “Ordinary” – rain, rain, and heavy rain!nThe socks were brilliant – no wearing, blisters, hot feet or sore spots at all! The kilometres rolled by with no issues at all. Then the dreaded “Puddle-too-deep-to-avoid” happened, and say hello to wet socks and boots! Here’s where I expected cold feet, and blisters… but nope! Perfect! Wet, yes, but my feet were still comfy and still no blisters.nWe got to the hut, and my daughter and I were still both bone dry from the great Chameleon Strider Shell jackets we had on. We weren’t sweaty, but perfectly dry and comfortable. Amazing.nSo the next day was a very, very unexpected snowstorm that laid us up in the hut, for the whole day and also dashed our hopes of getting to Kia Ora Hut. The rangers said it wouldn’t be a pleasant walk. So we called it, had a relaxing rest day, played in the snow, and decided to head back the next day.nThe next day dawned, the snow had turned back to rain again – and it was time to put on the still damp socks and wet boots (hard to dry anything in a hut with no heater and an average temperature of 3 degrees!) but after a few minutes, my feet were warm again (but damp), and we trudged back to our starting point! Still no blisters, amazing! Of course we were still dry on top as the Chameleon shells were doing their usual brilliant job of keeping the rain out!nI’ve not had such a comfortable walk in ages… I’d just wished I’d managed to get some of the Chameleon Strider rain pants for my daughter & I when I’d had the chance!nOverland Hiker socks – 10 out of 10nChameleon Shell Jacket – 10 out of 10

The Xfit eXtreme’s are very comfortable socks. I didn’t notice I had them on. They provided great compression. Wore them for short run and then during the day I didn’t feel any soreness after the run. I have been skeptical of compression clothing in the past. You guys have made a great sock with even better materials within the sock. As someone who has a sports science degree I can highly recommend these socks

I absolutely love the WW Xfit Xtreme compression socks having used them during my long training runs. They are comfortable and feel like they aren’t even there. I love wearing them and will definitely be wearing them in my next ultra marathon.

Awesome, so comfy

My black merino skull cap has been a perfect fit under the bike helmet, another great purchase.

It’s probably meant to be a base layer thermal but actually makes a good looking practical, compact and robust all round hoody for everyday wear. I love that it’s lightweight, crushable, has a zipper and a hood for a range of temperatures and uses. I use it to start my chilly winter morning runs, as I warm up, I can shove up the sleeves put down hood and zip. Take it off and tie it around my waist knowing I can’t stretch it or distort it. My only problem with it is it took 15 years to wear out my last one, and that means I can’t get another until this one does too

I needed to get a face covering (I can’t wear a mask) so I thought I’d give this a go. It’s great. Not too hot and easy to pull up and down. Thanks!

10 out of 5 that’s twice as good as perfect

I started following Frances Antonia on Instagram and became curious about your socks through seeing them on there. So I ordered some on Friday evening and didn’t expect them to come so quickly. My husband and I both tried out our new socks today and were very happy! They were so comfortable. I’m set for my upcoming trip to Tassie, and my husband is happy that he has found comfortable socks to wear with his work boots. We’ll probably be ordering some more before long!
And we love that they are all Australian!

The Merino Ascent soft shell jacket is an exceptional layer that was the perfect outer layer for the trip effectively stopping most of the wind and keeping us warm and dry. Lilli practically lived in hers for the whole time we were trekking. You and the Wilderness Wear team have done an exceptional job in the design and function of the jacket and we definitely we be recommending it to people.

In late 2019, I ran across Australia, 30 miles a day for four months on dirt roads, in Wilderness Wear’s Merino Multi-Sport and Atmosphere socks. In specific, I literally only rotated through two pairs – one Merino Multi-Sport and one Atmosphere – over 2,210 total miles! The fact that both pairs held up through all of this running is absolutely a testament to the durability and quality of these socks. Also, wool is absolutely the way to go; my socks NEVER smelled and they always kept my feet dry enough at the right temperature. If I wanted more cushion, I wore the Merino Multi-Sport. If I wanted more sun protection up my calves, I went with the Atmosphere. I rarely got blisters which is a HUGE benefit of these socks. I’m a fan and convert, and don’t plan to wear any other socks for any of my future runs!

Super comfy, love the colour/design. Ideal weight and cushioning for me (I don’t deal well with thick or highly padded socks). I really like this height (for me @160cm) for running or hiking in low profile shoes. Sensational performance when wet. Photoluminescent yarn doesn’t seem particularly effective, but doesn’t impact on the sock comfort/function so not a big deal.

The first thing I noticed about these bamboo socks is how soft they are. On the foot they are comfortable and well fit without being too tight around my calf. I also love the colours on the black and pink design.
The cushioning and extra padding at the toes, heel and whole underfoot is excellent and so comfortable.

The bamboo runner socks are extremely soft and comfortable, and they’re made from bamboo and spandex which gives it a really stretchy texture. I love how these socks wicks away moisture and I wear them for my hikes all the time. They’re perfect for sports, jogging, walking or general activities around the city. I also love the colour of these socks.

These are a genius concept! I’ve never come across merino used in a compression garment before (and assumed it would be impossible to generate enough compression), but these look, feel, and work superbly. I’ve worn them on a bunch of fast-paced hikes through winter, including some light rock scrambling, and they’ve performed and held up wonderfully. I also wore them as pants through winter a bit more than I should probably admit… Lycra compression garments are highly effective, but I always dread pulling them over wet skin, and life gets pretty unpleasant if the sun comes out and you start overheating in your shrink wrapping. Else it starts raining and you freeze to death. None of these are issues with these highly breathable merino compression leggings.nMy only comment/criticism is regarding the cut and sizing. Based on my measurements, you (correctly) guessed me at a 10, which is unheard of for me (I’m typically a 6/XXS, or whatever the smallest size is in any given brand). I’d suggest adding a note to the product page that these size small. I also found the cut around the backside to be a bit… shallow? I don’t have a lot in the way of glutes, but I still found that these tended to dip slightly lower at the rear of the waistband, which is obviously not desirable if you’re having to bend over a lot. I really liked the low hipster cut of them so it wasn’t that – just not quite enough “scoop” constructed into the backside, for me.

They’re made from pure merino wool but feels really different because the outer fabric is made from a nylon spandex blend. These leggings are extremely comfortable as they’re soft on the inside, but stretchy and strong on the outside. I’ve been looking for leggings that actually stretch during hikes and these are perfect for long walks and even light jogging. What I love about these leggings are that they’re incredibly snug and fits so well on the skin. I feel like I’m not wearing anything but they keep me super warm during the winter hikes that I went on recently in Hong Kong. These leggings are made to withstand tough days and nights on a mountain, and I’m definitely ready to take these for a trip.

My Wilderness Wear 200% Australian owned woolen compression thermal is unbelievably awesome! It’s snug, and keeps me warm when in and out of water, no seams that chafe under the arms, While rowing the George Bass Surf Boat Marathon in the heat of january along the south coast of NSW. I would spend several hours every day in and out the water, either rowing or sitting immobile in the support boat. Going from Icey cold water to hard exercise in the heat to sitting damp and still in a windy support boat, I never wanted to to take it off. After 7 days with only a daily rinse it didn’t stink!!!

I have the blue version of this singlet and the fabric is so soft and light. nSometimes marino feels scratchy on my skin but this blend is so comfortable and soft. It keeps me cool on runs and is beautifully fitting if I am doing yoga. The way the seams are designed is also really flattering for a womans body. nPlus it’s sustainable – what more could you ask for!

This gorgeous singlet comes in black and blue, but I got this blue one as it is bright, colourful and looks fantastic during a hike. I wore this to my yoga class the other day and it was really cooling and breathable, as it’s made from 70% superfine merino wool and 30% tencel. The tencel makes the fabric quite soft and smooth, and you can even wear this during a night in your house. This top is one of my favourites because it’s quite versatile, and you can wear this casually too. It’s extremely well-made and features flat seams which flatter the body, and I really like how it looks on me.

An exceptional active base layer. The seam positioning is really clever to create an attractive silhouette, and the blue colour is lovely (sometimes aesthetics matter) and keep the garment close to the skin without being tight. Retains excellent warmth when wet, and is highly breathable. Also surprisingly durable to snagging when worn as an outer layer. I’ve shopped A LOT for merino singlet base layers, and the three things I look for are: (1) ultralight blend, (2) must have sizing suitable to small people and not excessively long (tucking into knicks for cycling purposes), and (3) a relatively low scooped neck, so that efficient venting is still possible by cracking the zip on a jersey. This ticks all those boxes, and I can confidently tell you that none of the mainstream outdoor or cycling brands (as at autumn 2019) had a single product offering that suited these purposes.

A go to sock for racing! I like a higher cut to help protect around my ankle from sticks, mud and other environmental nasties you encounter in a trail run. They are comfortable, breathable and the most important thing is no blisters! A sign of a good sock is one you can put on and forget and this is the one for me!

This light grey tee caught my eye as it looks so comfortable and chic, yet it is actually one of the most practical and functional t-shirts that I’ve ever seen. It’s made from the lightest merino wool fabric, which gives it a light, airy feel. However, when you wear this you never want to take it off. I wore mine to one of my “hot” yoga classes the other day and it didn’t smell at all after the sweaty session. The superfine wool doesn’t itch a single bit, and feels perfect on my skin- it’s simply lush. Not only is it odour-resistant, it is also moisture-wicking, ultra comfortable and stretchy- perfect for a workout!

These are the socks for anything. I wore these most days on a trip to the Cradle Mountain National Park in Tasmania including an 8 hour day where we hiked to the Summit of Cradle Mountain. This “hike” included 2 hours of scrambling over rocks (only in asics runners) in thick fog, high winds and cold temperatures. These socks kept my feet warm and dry in very tough conditions.
They have held up brilliantly over many uses and are extremely odor resistant. Not to mention the comfort and awesome design. My go-to socks.

The wife never complains when she has her long sleeve Merino. n Australian made, just tops it off.

Great

Merino 10k Extreme sock – Perfect running sock, actually perfect all round sock. I’ve worn them on 15km & 20km runs and they were brilliant. They did not move, the cut of the sock is really comfortable and there was absolutely no signs of rubbing.

Just spent $160 on my second order in a month to round out my running sock collection and replaced my old socks with these awesome numbers (did choose the higher fit 10km V2 sock as well). I’ve bought a lot of Merino socks (usually Smartwool) and these are as good or better

Extremely comfortable and versatile socks. The tighter section around the ankle ensures these ankle socks don’t slip below the top of my runners. nThey grey colour is really versatile and I can wear them with any outfit. nThe padding and material keeps my feet cool in summer and warm in winter. They are moisture wicking and don’t smell. Really comfortable to wear with my runners no matter what exercise I am doing. Highly recommend and well worth the money.

Whether it be 10k race or just my standard morning run around town I love the feel of the women’s 10k- especially in the winter as they are a bit thicker and keep my feet warmer. My feet, like me, function best when they are warm! Additionally they are breathable meaning although warm my feet don’t sweat and keeps me blister free.

Your Merino 10k socks are extremely functional and lovely. I love the feel of these women’s socks as they are a bit thicker than the bamboo runner socks that I mentioned above. They’re perfect for long runs and walks in rockier terrain and they keep my feet blister-free and protected during walking and the colour is also beautiful!

My favourite item of WW clothing. This never had a run during high octane activity as it’s just not cold enough in Tassie, but it had a huge amount of casual/outdoor wear as described above. And it never needs washing! I love the colour, the cut, the seam positioning (particularly the shoulder seams), the angled chest pocket, and the cuffs. I received a huge number of compliments/enquiries about this. Zero piling of fabric. Exceptionally warm, but never sweaty. I often find that on cold days in Tassie when I’m in and out of buildings, I end up alternating between sweaty/cold and sometimes start building up an odour in synthetic fabrics. I could wear this as an outer piece or under a vest, both inside and outside, with no such issues. A really beautiful piece of clothing. Exceptionally well priced for the warmth, style, and quality.

Ordered these socks to get my order above the free shipping limit and I’m so glad I did! So warm for Melbourne weather, Australian made, and literally arrived the day after I ordered them! Will be shopping here again

Love the Aztec print on both these and the Fusion Max. A little too cushioned through the foot bed for me to wear cycling in Tasmania based on what I’m comfortable with (stiff, narrow racing shoes), but a great hiking sock.

Honestly, I only wore these around the house, because they’re thicker than any sock I wear (would need to be hiking in snow for an extended period to wear these – my feet run warm). So I can’t comment on outdoor functionality, but based on the Fusion Light I have no doubt they’d be great. From indoor use, they feel beautiful – the knit is far softer and more comfortable than any sock I’ve ever worn (they feel like a sheep is hugging your feet), yet they’re surprisingly durable to pulling (snags on wooden floorboards). I basically didn’t wear shoes indoors all winter because these were on my feet. Sorry that I didn’t have an opportunity to test them in the outdoors where they belong.

These socks fit perfectly, are extremely thick without being bulky and incredibly warm. nMy favourite socks to wear with my hiking boots. They are warm without making my feet sweat, I love the patters and they cling nicely to the shape of my foot. I get really cold toes easily but these keep my feet toasty warm. I also love the design an colour scheme of the yellow pair.

The merino wool leggings from Wilderness Wear are brilliant. I’ve never owned a pair of woollen leggings before, but after trying these on I will never turn back to polyester or cotton leggings again. The leggings simply feels different- it is lighter, warmer and a bit more sheer compared to normal exercise leggings. I plan to layer this with my yoga pants or track pants, to give it extra warmth during the snowy months.

This heavy-duty, gorgeous black crew top is classy, elegant and a hiker’s dream. I love how this durable merino top is made from a thicker merino wool fabric than the other pieces that I’ve talked about so far. The material of this top is high-quality, quite thick and also sturdy- perfect for those of you who travel and backpack to colder countries. I’m going on a trip to the UK soon and will definitely need this top for my outdoor activities.nThe best thing about this top is that it features gusset panels for increased mobility so you can actually run, jog and do anything in this top. It’s also got raglan sleeves which look adorable, and is slimming on the body. As with all of Wilderness Wear’s clothing, the quality is fantastic and this top can surely last for years to come even if you wash it a lot.

Extremely comfortable sock, kept my feet toasty warm in freezing temperatures. Padded toes and heel for ultimate comfort. Locally made and a beautiful colour – what more could you ask for.

Oh my goodness you found me a pair!! Love them thank you (all)! Back soon thanks again you’ve the best customer service in the world.

These are awesome for trail running / fast paced hikes in the wet (and cool)! Durability and odour resistance is amazing. Footbed cushioning and reinforcement feels spot on. Had no trouble with blisters or hotspots from seams.

A go to sock for off-road run adventures. Comfortable, breathable and no blisters they are a high cut which adds extra protection from the elements. Love them ☺️

Hi, I just wanted to say that I am very happy with all the items I have purchased. The softness and quality of the Merino Fusion is very impressive. I am sure I will get many years of wear out of the tops. nI will definitely be a returning customer.
