These are our lightest Merino wool socks to cover your basic summer sock needs – and also the socks of choice to wear under thicker boot socks. The L1 Liner Socks perform highly in all seasons, either as a liner or a standalone sock.

• Lightweight Merino Wool blend
• Highly breathable instep
• Anatomic fit with flat seams

Owning a few liner socks allows you to adapt your footwear for various conditions and uses. They are a great choice for summer or climbing shoes with a tight fit. Rotating fresh liner socks on a long hike or military yomp can greatly reduce blisters and improve morale. Level 1 means you can wear these as-is or with another pair (or two) of socks.

Made in Finland!
