Possum hikers are the best socks for hiking because Norsewood designed them for just that purpose.

The secret is the rich blend of natural merino wool, possum fur and cotton balanced with nylon and elastic for a close comfortable fit, because no hiker wants two boots full of bunched socks. The natural fibres keep your feet warm, even when they’re wet, and breathing freely, even when you’re breathing hard. Try a pair and discover why they’re the best socks for hiking.
