Crafted with hiking in mind, Hunters Element Peak Socks are the perfect companion for your outdoor adventures. Made with high-quality materials and designed for optimal comfort, these socks will keep your feet dry and blister-free, allowing you to focus on the journey instead of your feet. High-performance hiking socks are worth their weight in gold.The Peaks are made in New Zealand from the proven Herculan fibre (strong wool). Herculan is a world-first technology which has enabled us to create something that has not been impossible until now. This blend provides a solid balance of durability, comfort, warmth, and movement.The Peak’s design is shaped to the contours of your lower leg, ankle, and foot. This means the sock locks in place with minimal bunching and movement, resulting in maximum comfort and greatly reduced room for blistering. The foot-mapped design places padding in the high-contact areas and thinner weaves in between for contour and breathability.You simply shouldn’t put cheap tube socks on one of the most important parts of your body in the mountains. High-quality socks make a world of difference on hard-working feet, and the Peak are solid performers. FEATURES: HERCULAN: A WORLD-FIRST TECHNOLOGY The Herculan wool is spun using Nuyarn technology, transforming 20-year lifespan strong wool into yarn fine enough to wear, for the first time.This incredible, twist-free yarn has unprecedented benefits: durability, comfort, excellent moisture management, quicker drying times, more aeration, greater thermal retention and odour-resistance.It is perfectly engineered for high-impact zones. HERCULAN OUTPERFORMS CONVENTIONAL MERINO The strength of the fibre means Herculan wool smashes the Martindale Abrasion test - the number of rubs it can withstand in the heel and toe of the sock (1,066,667 rubs, that's 630% more than polyprop fleece).Its high aeration creates excellent moisture management, which in turn reduces the chance of blisters during a long hunt by creating less friction.Its exceptional abrasion resistance means the Peaks have more natural wool and less synthetic content, so the benefits of natural wool can be maintained: odour reduction, with less noise and less reflection for greater concealment.This amazing wool repurposes strong wool, which is a by-product of the sheep and carpet industry, giving this resource another life. DESIGNED TO FIT The construction of the sock is designed to perfectly hug the contours of your foot, ankle and calf with strategically placed padding to carry you the distance without movement or bunching.The Peaks have reinforced heels and toes for extra durability, and left & right construction for an anatomical fit. ELASTIC SUPPORT SYSTEM (ESS™) AND COMFORT ZONE CUSHIONING ESS ensures a customised fit with no bunching or riding down of the sock.Comfort Zone cushioning is strategically placed for optimum protection in high-pressure areas. PALADIN PROTECTION PAD The Paladin Protection pad provides improved blood flow through the Dorsalis Pedis artery, relieving pressure from the top of your boots.
