| Xsocks Trekking Extreme Light Socks |

Designed for hiking! As the temperature rises, the body's metabolic activities also increase. The body has to expend energy simply to regulate its own temperature. And the foot has a particularly hard time regulating its temperature because it's enclosed in a hiking shoe. In an effort to cool itself off, the foot constantly produces perspiration. But tightly encased in a shoe, this natural cooling process cannot function properly. Despite the fact that today's shoes are made of high-tech materials, they can't create the ideal 'barefoot environment' necessary for foot comfort.
X-Socks - Extreme are specifically designed to transfer heat and moisture away from the foot and out of the shoe.
Our Verdict
These socks really work, a few words don't do them justice. They are left and right specific because one of the features is a ventilation channel that starts in the arch and channels air up out of the boot.
If you have a few minutes take the time to click the link to the technology guide, it explains the features of the socks. Oh, and the manufacturers guarantee them for 2 years, activiate the guarantee through their website. All for a tenner a pair!
Which XSOCKS to choose? Choose these 'Trekking Extreme Light' if you want the lightest weight sock that will keep your feet cool while padding and supporting those parts of the foot that need it. If you suffer from hot feet when trekking then these will be the socks for you. Use for general purpose trekking.
