Smartwool Socks and Apparel for Every Outdoor Adventure

Smartwool was one of the first companies to realise the benefits of designing wool socks and apparel for the outdoors, and they continue to lead the field with their durable and comfortable gear. The company stands out for standing behind every product it makes and for ensuring that all Smartwool clothing is truly sustainable.

Why Choose Smartwool?

As you probably got from the company’s name, all of Smartwool’s products are made from natural, sustainably-sourced wool. While there are other companies offering wool clothing for outdoor adventurers, no company can claim to match Smartwool’s incredible range. Between socks and apparel, Smartwool has specialised product designs for runners, skiers, cyclists, hikers, backpackers, mountaineers, and commuters – not to mention that any of the company’s clothes are comfortable for everyday use. On top of that, Smartwool prides itself on crafting durable products that can stand up to years of (ab)use. The company offers a two-year guarantee on everything it makes. Think about the last time you had a pair of socks that lasted for two years of running or hiking – have you ever? Smartwool’s clothing is hearty enough to go wherever your adventures take you, which is something that most outdoor manufacturers can only aspire to.

Smartwool Fabrics

All of Smartwool’s products are made from wool, but the company has a number of different wool types and blends that differentiate its product line.

Merino 150

Smartwool’s temperature regulating merino wool is designed to go directly next to your skin. You’ll find Merino 150 in lightweight socks for summer hiking and in year-round base layers.

Merino 250

This slightly heavier merino weave is used in many of Smartwool’s cold weather base layers and winter accessories like gloves and hats. Merino 250 is surprisingly lightweight, resists odours, and breathes extremely well for aerobic activities like skiing and snowshoeing.

PhD Series

Smartwool’s PhD series uses a merino and polyester blend that provides more warmth and dries more quickly than merino wool alone. The PhD Ultra Light series is ideal for warm weather activities, like summer running and hiking. The Light series is designed for three-season use, with enough thickness to keep you warm when starting and stopping but enough breathability to keep you cool while active. The original PhD fabric is used in Smartwool’s performance tights and mid layers, for when you need insulation against winter weather and a fabric that’s smooth against your skin.

Smartwool Clothing and Apparel

Smartwool makes a huge variety of clothing, with a focus on shirts, mid layers, base layers, and socks. It’s worth focusing in on Smartwool’s socks, because you’ll be hard-pressed to find a company that offers a greater diversity of offerings for your feet. Smartwool socks are famous for their durability and comfort, and you’re likely to find a huge number of hikers wearing Smartwool beneath their shoes if you ask around on your local trail.
