With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The Vicuna Alpaca Mid Hiker is a medium weight crew sock in soft and luxurious Alpaca wool. Known as the 'Wool of the Gods', Alpaca wool is an amazing fibre; hypoallergenic, very durable, temperature regulating and very breathable.
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 Yarn. 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 these socks is sustainably and ethically farmed 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.Specifications:
Socks can often be overlooked when it comes to buying outdoor clothing but a poorly performing sock can ruin a day out in the hills.
The amount of science in keeping your toes toasty, comfortable and blister-free is quite simply mind-blowing so if you have ever taken a sharp intake of breath at the price then read on and learn why; when it comes to £’s per foot – they are better value than you think……
Think about the activity, terrain and environment where you will be wanting to use your socks. This will guide you towards the type and fibre content that will work best for what you need.
Then decide what type of footwear you will be using them with so that you can choose the right height.
Choose a colour that makes you happy.
