Smartwool Striped Lightweight Hiking Socks - Youth Purple Eclipse Medium

When it comes to hiking gear, few things are more important than your choice of socks. They should be comfortable, breathable and durable while keeping your feet dry and blister-free. The Smartwool Striped Light Hiking Crew Socks meet all these requirements and more. Made from a blend of merino wool, nylon and elastane, these socks offer a snug, supportive fit that won't roll or slip on long hikes. Merino wool wicks sweat and naturally controls foot odor, while nylon and elastane add durability and flexibility. The stylish striped design adds flair to your hiking ensemble, while the medium size fits most young feet without causing discomfort or slippage. However, it is worth noting that the purple color of the eclipse is not as bright as it appears in the product images. All in all, the Smartwool Striped Light Hiking Crew Socks are a great choice for young backpackers looking for comfortable and functional footwear. While they may not be the flashiest or most innovative socks out there, they certainly get the job done.

Pros
  • Socks are designed to provide maximum comfort while hiking. A padded footbed provides extra cushioning, while a flat toe seam prevents irritation and chafing.
Cons
  • Synthetic Blend: While wool is a popular material for hiking socks, the Smartwool Striped Light Hiking Crew Socks are actually made from a synthetic blend. This may not be ideal for backpackers who prefer natural materials or have sensitive skin.
