December 4th is National Sock Day - because... why not? There's a National Day for literally everything, but I digress. Let's talk about literally the best socks you will ever own. ALPACA SOCKS. I will give you the spark notes version and then walk through the different types of socks that we have for you!
Why Alpaca Socks?
1. Alpaca is Warmer Than Wool
Alpaca is a hollow core fiber that acts like little insulator tubes around your feet. The cold air gets trapped in the inner core of the fiber and keeps your feet nice and toasty. This natural insulation ability allows alpaca to keep your feet up to 3 times warmer than wool.
2. Alpaca Wicks Moisture Better Than Wool
2. Alpaca Wicks Moisture Better Than Wool
Alpaca is resistant to external moisture penetration. When our socks are blended with synthetic fibers for stretch and strength, the moisture naturally wicks up and out of your shoe keeping your feet warm and dry.
3. Alpaca is Softer Than Wool

There's nothing like slipping your feet into a soft, luxurious alpaca sock. What a great way to start your day. Alpaca fiber is normally around 20-23 microns in diameter while sheep's wool is between 35-45 microns. The thin, lightweight alpaca fiber feels dreamy soft compared to wool.
4. Alpaca won't hang onto odor - No More Stinky Socks
Because alpaca socks are so great at wicking away moisture you can avoid the dirty sock odor smell after a day walking the trails.
