Socks for mountains and skis

Warm socks are something all Norwegians need, and there are no socks that beat classic, Norwegian wool socks during the winter season.These the wool socks (or rag socks) have been used by us Norwegians for several generations and for good reason!!

With their breathable properties, wool socks are perfect for cold, raw and wet climates, making them great for long ski trips or mountain walks. Wool insulates well, and also provides good cushioning on your legs. Wool socks absorb moisture and dry quickly, which reduces the risk of chafing and discomfort.

Tips: If you use Gore-Tex shoes, you should rather consider our next recommendation (thin wool socks) to make the most of the moisture-transporting effect!

Wool socks are a must in cabins and mountains, but they are also wonderful to use as cozy socks for lazy days at home.e.
