The Vicuna Alpaca Hiker Pro socks are very warm, luxurious and soft, as well as being highly durable. They are superb hiking and trekking socks, made from ethically sourced and sustainable Alpaca wool.
Using Alpaca yarn, the Vicuna Socks are soft, warm and feel incredibly smooth against the skin. Unlike sheep wool it contains no lanolin, which means its also hypoallergenic, and alpaca fibres are much smoother, giving you a far softer feeling wool. It is the most durable animal fibre on the planet, is very breathable and provides fantastic temperature regulation (cosy and warm when its cold, and cool in warmer temperatures).
The Alpaca wool used in Vicuna Socks is both sustainable and ethically sourced from farmed animals in the Andes, where these animals have evolved and adapted to cope with the harsh climate and altitude. They live at altitudes from 2500m to over 4500m where temperatures can vary from -20oC to +30oC in the same day.
Alpaca pro is made with 100% Alpaca wool on the inside for warmth, while recycled nylon on the outside provides stability and abrasion resistance, ensuring the socks are both hardwearing and comfortable.
