Men’s Cape To Cape Merino Light Hiker eXtreme Socks

Lightweight Merino Performance for Serious Trail Comfort

The Men’s Cape To Cape Merino Light Hiker eXtreme socks are engineered for hikers who want lasting comfort, reduced friction, and reliable durability on any terrain. Made in Australia from 75% pure Tasmanian Merino wool blended with Lycra and Profilen®, these lightweight half-height socks balance softness, temperature control, and long-wearing performance.

Blister Free™ Technology for Friction-Free Hiking

To make a great sock even better, we knit our friction-free Profilen® fibres directly into the heel and toe zones using the Blister Free™ system. This dramatically reduces rubbing and hotspot formation, giving you a true blister-minimising trail experience. A virtual seamless toe and ergonomic construction support smooth, irritation-free movement step after step.

Designed for Fit, Breathability and All-Day Support

With a precise 1/2 height that avoids calf pressure, the C2C stays in place without slipping thanks to the SFS (Secure-Fit-System). Strategically positioned mesh ventilation zones increase breathability on long climbs, while medium cushioning provides comfort in close-fitting hiking boots and trail shoes. The lightweight build ensures responsiveness and reduces fatigue across varied terrain.

Premium Tasmanian Merino — Ethical, Breathable, Easy-Care

Our WildernessWool™ Merino naturally regulates temperature, wicks moisture and helps reduce odour during long days outdoors. The wool is ethically sourced from Tasmania, known for its pristine landscapes and high-welfare farming standards. With an EXP chlorine-free, machine-washable finish, these socks offer exceptional performance with easy everyday care.

Women’s Body Measurements

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.

Athletic Fit

More of a “tailored” fit that is tighter across the middle and shoulder sections in tops and tighter across the backside, upper thigh and lower leg sections in leggings.

Slim Fit

A snug, close-to-the body fit for low bulk, layering. Clothing in this style don’t have extra fabric hanging or draping anywhere.

Regular Fit

Neither snug, nor loose, these garments are worn solo or over other layers. Regular fit clothing tends to fit most body types comfortably and have a little extra fabric than slim fit.

Relaxed Fit

Relaxed refers to a fit that’s looser than regular, but not baggy. Typically, relaxed clothing provide a comfortable, looser fit.

Summary for Mens Cape To Cape Merino Light Hiker eXtreme Socks

Average Score: 5 (1 ratings)

5/5

Absolutely the best sock during all conditions that my reasonably extensive trialing came up with.

Posted by Dirk on 11 March 2018

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 Extreme’ socks a try.
