Socks Designed for Tradeswomen, Firefighters & Cold Storage Workers

Wilderness Wear: Crafting Quality Socks Since 1989
With over three decades of experience in Melbourne, Wilderness Wear has built a reputation for producing
premium-quality socks made to endure Australia’s toughest conditions. While we’re well known for our hiking socks,
our range also includes industrial-grade merino wool socks designed specifically for Australia’s workforce — from
tradeswomen to firefighters and cold storage professionals.

Merino Beast2 – Available in Hi-Viz

Engineered for toughness and durability, the Wilderness Wear Merino Beast2 socks feature solid nylon
reinforcement in high-wear zones including the heel and toe. Made from eco-friendly, high-grade merino wool, these socks
deliver warmth, breathability, and all-day comfort even in demanding environments. The SFS (Secure Fit System)
ensures a snug fit, while the firm weave provides lasting support. Flame and static resistance add an extra layer of safety.
Available in high visibility orange and yellow.

Fire Rated 800 Merino Socks – Featuring 93% Merino Wool

The Fire Rated 800 socks are engineered for performance under heat and pressure. Featuring a unique
three-layer construction, these socks combine treated merino wool on the outer layer, a nylon mesh mid-layer, and
pure wool in a deep terry knit on the inner face for maximum protection and comfort. The 1×1 rib upper welt
alleviates calf pressure, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
Ideal for firefighting, emergency response, welding, and other high-heat environments.

Frost Free Socks – Designed for Australia’s Cold Storage Workforce

Purpose-built for workers in cold storage or freezer environments — and trusted by ocean racing sailors —
the Frost Free socks deliver exceptional thermal insulation, rapid climate adjustment, and outstanding
moisture control. Designed for gumboot-style footwear, they offer high durability, low odour retention, and a soft,
comfortable handle, keeping feet warm, dry, and supported all day.

Combining Nature-Made and Man-Made Yarns

Wilderness Wear’s work sock range blends the best of both worlds: natural Australian merino wool
and Schoeller® polypropylene. Merino provides warmth, odour resistance, and comfort, while
Schoeller® polypropylene adds exceptional insulation and moisture-wicking performance. Together, they create a
resilient, breathable sock that stands up to the toughest jobs — without compromising on comfort.
