Buy four pairs of merino wool boot socks. You need them anyway and get the 4-pack cheaper. Just like the Finnish army boot socks, but a little better in every way. The natural moisture-wicking properties of merino wool make these a viable option for around-the-year use. Made in Finland.
Also available separately.
- A good sturdy boot sock
- Terrycloth underside
- 64% merino wool, 36% polyamide
- 23.5 micron
Merino wool makes a perfect base layer. To minimize chafing, you can wear thinner socks under these, for example our standard merino socks. In cold weather, you could wear a pair of thicker socks over these. Layering socks makes your life better. If you've chosen your materials correctly (can't go wrong with wool), double-layered socks will not feel uncomfortably hot or damp even in hot weather.
The footbed side is terry cloth. This means the sock won't slide and wrinkle when worn.
L2 - Mid Layer
The second layer of the Varusteleka clothing system wicks moisture forward from the base layer and gives moderate thermal insulation. The L2 can also be used as a next-to-skin layer, which further adds to the flexibility of the system. Our mid-layer is made from a midweight merino wool blend; it is a bit more relaxed, fitting and noticeably warmer than the base layer.
