This is a four-season sock, with great cushioning and support for standing in a river tossing flies at salmon, long hikes, hard hunts, and basically just keeping your feet dry and comfortable in most conditions. They will stay fresh and funk-free for days on end... pack less, travel more. Less bulk and better fit, not quite as insulating as our Trekker or Pro-gear socks, but built to take whatever you can throw at them and still keep you cozy. The Buffalo Wool Co. Kenai Boot Socks feature: URfit System for arch support and memory-knit construction Smooth and flat comfort toe seam Footbed is a luxurious bison down, ultra-fine merino, bamboo blend Leg Shaft is an extremely comfortable military-spec polypropylene Leg shaft measures 2026 production uses a darker olive green color These sock-creating geniuses marry military-spec polypropylene on the sock shaft with our close-to-bulletproof bison down/ultra fine superwash Merino wool, and a bamboo yarn blend in the foot. (The same yarn we use in our B.O.S.S. socks.) Anyone who has ever worn a pair of military polypro socks knows how supportive they are, but you have never felt the footbed comfort and warmth of our bison/merino/bamboo yarn blend at the same time. The result is the exact sock that the US Military uses, but with your feet surrounded by the warm, moisture-wicking, comfortable, durable proportions of our BOSS Sock. This Mil-Top sock is about 3" taller than our Trekker boot sock ... right at mid-calf ... and with the stay-in-place power of mil-spec polypropylene. As for scent capture, we had one of our spec testers who claims to have worn them a ridiculous 12 days of elk hunting. Now that would just be "Socks Abuse"! But these are the top of the hunting/moving/walking sock food chain. They are my "go-to" hard-wearing outdoor socks anymore.
