The Salewa Ortles Dolomites AM Crew Socks Women in Electric are the warmest and thickest socks in the Salewa range, made for alpine mountaineering and cold days at altitude. A merino blend handles moisture and odour, while French Terry padding underfoot adds warmth and cushioning where the boot presses hardest.

• Warmest in the range: these are the thickest socks Salewa makes, aimed at altitude and winter rather than summer trekking.
• Merino wool blend: the merino regulates temperature and moisture and resists odour over multiple days on a mountain.
• French Terry cushioned footbed: the looped pile underfoot adds insulation from the cold sole of a mountaineering boot as well as cushioning.
• Blister protection: the close fit and cushioning are designed to reduce the friction that causes blisters on long ascents.
• Seamless toe: the toe is knitted without a seam, removing the ridge that rubs inside a stiff boot.
• Reinforced sole: the hard wearing knit stands up to the pressure of a rigid mountaineering sole.
• Quick drying and breathable: the blend dries faster than pure wool, which matters when there is no way to dry kit in a hut.
• Made in Italy: available in 36-38, 39-41 and 42-44, with over 50 percent natural fibre content.
