Hiking requires clothing that dries fast and keeping you at your body’s natural temperature. Cotton is in general heavier than competitive synthetic fabrics and because it absorbs so much moisture it gets even heavier when soaked with sweat. When cotton gets wet, it ceases to insulate you because all of the air pockets in the fabric fill up with water. If the air is colder than your body temperature, you’ll feel cold because your cotton clothing is saturated and no longer providing any insulation.
Merino wool
Soft merino sheep
Merino is a breed of sheep highly prized for its soft and finely crimped wool. From a technical perspective, the diameter of wool is measured in microns. The lower the micron the finer and more expensive it is. Regular coarse wool can be 40 micron or more, but merino is much finer. It starts at about 24 micron down to 15 micron and below of its thin diameter. Merino isn’t itchy or rough like thicker wools but still offers impressive warmth and moisture wicking capabilities. Merino sheep originally come from Spain. Today, they are most commonly found in Australia, as well raised in the United States, New Zealand, South America, and elsewhere.
What’s the fuss with merino wool?
One of the reasons that merino wool is so popular is its warmth relative to weight. The fabric has a natural loft that traps heat very efficiently between fibers. This makes it warmer than a synthetic of the same weight. You can use merino wool for running, hiking, and mountain biking because it works well across a range of temperatures. In the morning, it’ll keep you reasonably insulated, but you’ll be cool, dry, and ventilated once you start working up a sweat. Another benefit is merino wool’s ability to insulate when wet. As well, merino wool has antibacterial functions thus will prevent bad odour development.
Dogma hiking socks offer a wide range of hiking models. Depending on your hiking skills, terrain and preferences you should choose your model accordingly. Yeti model is a great all year round hiking sock with layered knitting. Fully cushioned sole and optimal blend of merino wool and polyesters enable thermoregulation. However, Mountain Goat is a more summer mode. It offers lighter cushioning in the toe and heel area. Quick dry polyester will keep you dry and ventilated during your activity.
