About Smartwool Socks, Hats and Accessories
You won't find better gear to keep you comfortable in all conditions than SmartWool, whether you are out tromping in rain, shine, heat or hail. Its the best fibre in the world for cold and warm, wet and dry weather use, combining comfort and performance into one versatile package.
Above all else comes the extraordinary comfort. Far from the itchy wool of yesteryear, SmartWool fibres are luxuriously soft. They come from New Zealand's specially bred Merino sheep, whose super-fine fibres are as fit for pyjamas as they are active wear.
The real tale lies in the fibre's performance. Over the eons SmartWool's fibres have evolved to keep our Merino sheep warm in the Alpine winters and cool in the southern summers. That same natural temperature regulating process works for people as well. The secret is that each fibre harbours thousands of air pockets which, like insulation in your house, act as a buffer against heat and cold.
