Särmä TST L2 Boot Socks, Merino Wool, 4-Pack

Buy four pairs of merino wool boot socks. You need them anyway and get the 4-pack cheaper. Just like the Finnish army boot socks, but a little better in every way. The natural moisture-wicking properties of merino wool make these a viable option for around-the-year use. Made in Finland.

Also available separately.

• A good sturdy boot sock
• Terrycloth underside
• 64% merino wool, 36% polyamide
• 23.5 micron

Merino wool makes a perfect base layer. To minimize chafing, you can wear thinner socks under these, for example our standard merino socks. In cold weather, you could wear a pair of thicker socks over these. Layering socks makes your life better. If you've chosen your materials correctly (can't go wrong with wool), double-layered socks will not feel uncomfortably hot or damp even in hot weather.

The footbed side is terry cloth. This means the sock won't slide and wrinkle when worn.

Materials and care

Material 64% merino wool, 36% polyamide. Wash at 40° C (104° F). The polyamide is added to the mix for wear resistance. You can march for countless miles before wearing these out. The sock shrinks about 10% in the first wash. This is accounted for in the sizing.

The joys of merino wool

Merino wool is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and self-rinsing. It's also machine-washable, but washing is usually unnecessary - wool cleans itself. Machine wash at 40° C (104° F) when needed. Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp. When not in use, a good shake and airing outside will magically cleanse the wool. You only need to wash merino wool if you see stains or the clothing starts to smell really bad. This usually requires lots of continuous use without airing.

And oh yes, this stuff is mulesing-free!

Want to know where the merino wool comes from?

Our sock provider Sukkamestarit has joined the NATIVA™system, the purpose of which is to be able to trace the merino wool back to individual sheep farms. Because of this, you will also be able to find out where the wool for all our merino wool Särmä socks comes from.

The packages have a QR code that you can use to trace the source of the merino wool.
