Hiking & Backpacking

We've combined the sock that started it all (our Hike Light Crew) with our most beloved casual sock pattern (the Margarita) to bring you the Hike Light Margarita Crew. A flat toe seam provides in-shoe comfort, while an elasticized arch brace offers a secure fit. Our most classic sock now just might be our most stylish.

The Hike Light Striped Crew offers the same secure fit and comfort level as the original, but with a salute to stripes. This men's hiking sock brings you the durability you need for long hikes paired with the benefits of responsibly-sourced Merino wool—helping regulate body temperature while staying itch- and stink-free.

This ultra-light, non-cushioned sock provides a close, lightweight fit that acts as your second skin to minimize friction and blisters. The flat knit toe seam guarantees comfort.

This all-purpose sock was designed for rugged day hikes or moderate backpacking. An arch brace holds the sock in place and adds additional support. A flat-knit toe seam keeps you comfortable.
