Three Capes socks – unreal. They’re super soft and comfortable, yet at no point did they feel hot or constricting.

Last month, I hiked all around the Snowy Mountains and on one day in particular (during the recent wild weather in NSW) I hiked up to the Kosciuszko summit. The rain was horizontal, the wind chill was freezing, and the visibility was extremely minimal. Yet, despite the punishing conditions, I was snug as bug. My base layer was the MerinoFusion 190 Switch Hoodie which as you probably guessed, comes with a hood (very useful!). I also wore the Three Capes Merino Hiker socks. Firstly, the base layer was a snug, warm, comfortable fit with a hood that actually fit very well and protected me from the harsh wind. Even when my outer hood was repeatedly ripped off by wind gusts, it held firm. Not once did I actually feel the biting cold that was working its way through my increasingly wet gloves. So comfortable was this top, that I’m absolutely buying another for the 600km trek. Secondly, the Three Capes socks – unreal. They’re super soft and comfortable, yet at no point did they feel hot or constricting. They seemed to stabilize my feet within the boot and the cushioning in the sole made each footfall much more pleasant than I’m typically used to, that was a welcome surprise. I didn’t only get the Three Capes socks, I got a few different styles to trial before the trek and if I’m being honest, all my old socks are feeling rather abandoned as I’m ‘testing’ my Wilderness Wear socks on a daily basis, at home, at work and on the trail – because they’re all so comfy! As someone who wore cheap socks and didn’t see the value in investing in proper, quality socks – I’ve learned a lesson. I didn’t know what I was missing out on. Absolutely stellar gear, thank you!
