The Salewa Fanes Hybrid Stripes Merino Crew Socks Women in Grey Melange are mid calf hiking socks in a merino wool and TENCEL blend. They are built around thermoregulation and odour control rather than heavy padding, with reinforcement at the sole, heel and toe where socks wear through first.

• Merino and TENCEL blend: the natural fibre mix regulates temperature in both directions, so the socks work in summer heat as well as cool mornings.
• Odour control: merino resists odour naturally, which is what makes these wearable for more than one day between washes.
• Mid calf height: the crew cut protects the lower leg from scrub and rock above the boot cuff.
• Reinforced sole, heel and toe: the three high wear zones are reinforced, extending the life of the sock rather than the cushioning.
• Athletic fit: the close fit prevents the bunching that causes blisters inside a hiking boot.
• Over half natural fibre: Salewa specifies more than 50 percent natural fabric content, and the socks are made in Italy.
