M 365 Highland Boot Alpaca Sock

Going the Distance 

Crafted for your most demanding tasks and wildest adventures, these socks are the real deal. Made by our friends in Peru, baby Alpaca fiber has little to do with the age of the animal. It has everything to do with the fineness, length, and color of the fiber, measured between 19-20 microns (like cashmere). 

The fiber in these socks has a close connection with the ancient practices of the Peruvian Highland Shepherds. Ancient Incan culture valued Alpaca, perhaps even more than gold, a fiber fit for royalty. Alpaca is known for its many great qualities: natural and biodegradable, durable and stain resistant, odor resistant, insulates when wet, resists matting and pilling, wicks moisture, flame resistant (if you get to close to the campfire), lighter and warmer per gram compared to merino wool.
