Combined with high cushioning, moisture management and our Secure Fit System, these socks deliver dependable comfort over long distances and demanding terrain.
Premium Australian Merino. Advanced blister protection. All-day comfort on the trail.
🛡️ Blister Free™ Technology – The Difference Is in the Yarn
How do you make a great hiking sock even better? By incorporating specialised Profilen® PTFE anti-friction yarn into the high-abrasion areas of the sock.
Our Blister Free™ system strategically places these friction-reducing fibres in the heel and toe areas, helping minimise rubbing caused by repetitive movement inside your hiking boots.
Unlike ordinary hiking socks, the Overland Hiker eXtreme uses Profilen® yarn to target the areas where friction and blisters commonly develop. This makes them particularly well suited to long-distance walking, multi-day backpacking and extended hiking adventures.
The LIN low-profile toe seam further reduces bulk and rubbing around the toes, working alongside the Profilen® fibres to help minimise friction and improve overall comfort.
🥾 Engineered for Long Days on the Trail
The Overland Hiker eXtreme combines technical construction with luxurious Merino comfort. Its ergonomically designed half-height profile sits neatly below the calf muscle, providing excellent coverage without unnecessary pressure around the lower leg.
Our Secure Fit System (SFS) helps prevent slipping, bunching and creasing, keeping the sock securely positioned inside your footwear. High cushioning throughout the sock absorbs impact underfoot, helping protect your feet when tackling rocky tracks, uneven terrain and long walking distances.
Reinforced heel and toe sections provide additional durability in high-wear areas, making these mid-weight hiking socks a dependable companion for demanding outdoor conditions.
🐑 Premium Tasmanian Merino – Naturally Better
Made with 80% Pure Australian Merino wool, 10% nylon, 5% Lycra and 5% Profilen®, these socks combine the natural benefits of premium Merino with the durability and performance of technical fibres.
All the Merino wool used in this collection comes from Tasmania, renowned for producing exceptional-quality wool. Our WildernessWool™ naturally regulates temperature, manages moisture and helps reduce unpleasant foot odours, keeping feet comfortable during extended outdoor activities.
Nylon adds strength and durability, while Lycra provides stretch for a supportive fit. The addition of Profilen® delivers specialised anti-friction performance in the heel and toe.
🌿 EXP – Chlorine-Free, Easy-Care Merino
Our EXP treatment provides easy-care performance without conventional chlorine-based shrink-resist processing. The result is a premium Merino sock that is machine washable, easy to care for and designed for regular outdoor use.

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.
