We set out to make the perfect sock. After two years of research, we found that Alpaca's natural moisture-wicking fibers, superior softness, and incredible insulating properties vastly outperformed all other materials in the test.

STAYS DRY LONGER

Alpaca's unique hollow fibers and scale-like structure help to wick and repel moisture, leaving your feet feeling dry and comfortable all day long.

TEMPERATURE REGULATING

Alpaca fibers have a hollow core that helps regulate temperature, making our socks so breathable that they can be worn year-round - keeping your feet cool in the heat or warm in the cold.

SUPER SOFT & COMFORTABLE

The unbelievably soft and durable alpaca fibers provide superior comfort and cushion, helping to reduce fatigue and keep you on your feet longer.

THE DISCOVERY

After many long days going from the gym to the office to the trails, we discovered that the usual performance socks we depended on weren't cutting it anymore. We decided to take matters into our own hands and discovered the magic of alpaca fibers.

RESEARCH

We spent two years researching and testing the best places to source alpaca fibers, the best type of alpaca fibers to use, and the best way to turn magical alpaca fibers into trustworthy peformance socks.

2023 & Beyond

THE RESULT

Today, we proudly supply trustworthy performance socks using our unique alpaca fiber blend to adventurers around the country. Our socks keep feet everywhere dry and comfortable.

THERMOREGULATING

Alpaca fiber to is a unique material that wicks moisture, keeps feet dry and endures wear. We’ve created cutting edge manufacturing techniques that transforms this natural material into the perfect -hiking, cycling, working, skiing, everyday- pair of socks. 

Compared to traditional merino, alpaca fibers have better insulation properties at a lighter weight. The hollow fibers trap in warm air, keeping feet warmer for much longer periods of time.  

On the contrary, the light weight of the fiber allows the socks to be extremely breathable.When the weather is warm, the natural crimp of the fiber will wick sweat away and the weight will maintain the sock’s breathability, keeping feet cool even through the hottest of days. 

MOISTURE-WICKING

Alpaca fibers are extremely water resistant, and dry much faster than merino when wet. Merino retains up to 30% of its weight in water, holding onto moisture and keeping your feet uncomfortably wet, while alpaca only retains up to 10%. 

Because alpaca fibers are hollow, moisture can’t saturate through them. Instead, the moisture is moved to the surface of the sock, where it quickly evaporates. 

Not only does this keep the sock dry, but less moisture means less bacteria. The fiber’s moisture-wicking capabilities also prevents bacteria from building up and causing odor.

EXTREME COMFORT

Alpaca fiber is one of the softest, most loftiest, natural materials available. Some have even compared the feel as having a resemblance close to cashmere. 

Unlike other types of wool, alpaca does not produce lanolin oils. Lanolin oil is a wax found in merino that makes the material feel itchy, and even causes allergic reactions. Because alpaca fiber is lanolin-free, it is hypoallergenic and itch-free. 

The structure of alpaca fibers is not only soft, it also helps provide a cushion against callus buildups, preventing blisters and maintaining foot health.

When caring for your Hollow socks, we recommend washing in cold water and hanging to dry. (Note: machine washing and drying tests have shown no damage.)
