Experience the ultimate warmth with the Smartwool Mountaineer Classic Edition Maximum Cushion Second Cut Crew Socks. These are Smartwool’s thickest and warmest wool crew socks, specifically designed for long-distance backpacking and challenging winter hikes. They feature full, plush cushioning throughout for maximum impact protection and insulation in cold climates. A standout feature is the Second Cut™ yarn, an eco-conscious blend that utilizes 50% recycled fibres from sock take-back programs and 50% virgin Merino wool. The 4 Degree™ elite fit system ensures a performance-oriented fit with strategic stretch, while an elasticized arch brace provides a secure, locked-in feel. For superior in-shoe comfort, the flat knit toe seam helps prevent hotspots and friction during high-mileage treks. Breathable mesh zones are integrated to promote airflow and moisture management. The material composition includes 41% Merino Wool, 41% mixed recycled fibres, 17% Nylon, and 1% Elastane. To maintain quality, machine wash warm inside out and tumble dry low; do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. This is the ideal choice for mountaineering, heavy-pack trekking, and cold-weather expeditions.
