Merino Wool

Keep your focus on your workout with our Active Stretch Headband. This stay-put headband features a silicone band for extra grip, so you can forget about readjusting. The lightweight fabric combines the moisture management, temperature regulation, and odor resistance of Merino wool with the softness and cooling properties of TENCEL™ Lyocell fiber, making it the perfect accessory for all your high-intensity workouts.

For those times when you want to keep sweat out of your eyes but don't need sun protection, the Active Ultralite Headband is a game-changer. Made from a blend of ZQ-certified Merino wool and TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, this performance fabric is crazy soft, lightweight, odor-resistant, and made to help keep you cool when you start to sweat. With a colorblock pattern for jaunty style, this headband will keep you fashionably comfortable on your next warm-weather hike or bike.

Offering all the benefits of responsibly sourced Merino wool (temperature regulation, odor resistance, moisture management), Smartwool's Women’s Hike Light Cushion Icy Range Print Crew Socks also bring the comfort and durability: They’ve got a performance-oriented fit, added breathability, light cushioning right where you need it, and a Virtually Seamless™ toe. And it’s all wrapped up in a unique Kate Zessel design you might almost want to frame—although, for safety, they recommend you leave the frame at home.

Slip on this ultra-lightweight no show Merino Wool sock for blister-blasting protection and sweat-wicking power that you don’t have to see to believe. Working hard behind the scenes, our most minimal running sock guards against dirt and stays put, so you can set your best pace – plain and simple.

It’s all in the details, and when it comes to the Dottie, that applies to design as well as construction. You’re bound to be head over heels for this sock’s classic character—and after a few wears, you’ll be singing love songs about the long-lasting comfort. The Dottie is the perfect height for a nice bike ride or peeking out over a Chelsea boot.

A new addition to the Light Hiker collection is the 1/4 Sock. Modest enough for a Victorian aristocrat, and equally familiar with expansive views, these ankle-covering socks offer a smooth cuff, comfortable fit, and lightweight functionality that truly endures. Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life.

Hiking doesn't always mean epic plans or ultra-technical gear. Sometimes it just involves a day pack, a cup of coffee and cute little forest friends to cheer you along as you stroll in the great outdoors (or indoors, we're not judging). These cozy, fun, micro crew hiking socks have just the right amount of cushioning for long-haul comfort but are built with everyday play in mind.

If you redesign one of the most popular socks in the line you better come correct. Increased breathability with mesh panels on top of the foot, a new smooth ribbing upper that stays put forever, and extended cushion over the Achilles - just a few heavy additions to one of the lightest hike socks out there.
