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'.
