Vicuna Alpaca Hiker Socks
The Vicuna Hiker are socks made with luxurious Alpaca wool. Alpacas have developed natural fibres which have unique properties due to microscopic air pockets found within. These pockets allow breathability in warm temperatures and can trap body heat in cold weather. A great gift idea, these super soft and warm socks are perfect for a range of adventures.
Alpaca Wool is famous for its thermal properties and for the finess. silkiness, softness and durability of the yarn, and tend to be more durable than merino wool or any other natural fibre.
Unlike synthetic or other man-made fibres the alpaca fibre is made of protein and as such it will biodegrade naturally.
The Vicuna Hiker are socks made with luxurious Alpaca wool. Alpacas live in altitudes ranging from 2500 to over 4500 metres and temperatures can change in one day between +30 to -20 degrees. To survive these conditions, Alpacas have developed natural fibres which have unique properties due to microscopic air pockets found within. These pockets allow breathability in warm temperatures and can trap body heat in cold weather. So not only are these socks super soft to the skin, they will keep you protected wherever you are adventuring to.
Alpaca fibres are extremely fine making these socks soft and comfortable. They are an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin, as Alpaca wool contains no lanolin, making it hypoallergenic.
