Advanced hiking and walking socks from Finland, UphillSport 3 Layer Sports Socks are already hugely popular, with over one million pairs sold. Now these multilayer, merino wool rich socks, favoured by the Finnish army, are available from us.With three layers of mixed materials (Outer layer polyamide, middle merino wool and inside polypropylene), each fulfilling a specific purpose, UphillSport 3 Layer Sports Socks have exceptional breathability, moisture handling and thermal abilities, along with a nice ’next to skin’ feeling. The cross-foot stretch designed into Uphill Sport socks gives them a close, comfortable fit, while true handlinked toes for smooth seams help avoid blisters.All merino used by UphillSport’s owners Sukkamestarit Oy is mulesing-free (mulesing is an increasingly controversial anti-flystrike method used by some sheep farmers where strips of skin are removed without anaesthetic) and while there is no quality benefit to unmulesed wool, it speaks volumes about the Finnish sock manufacturer’s ethical stance.
