Merino wool is nature’s own smart material. It keeps you warm even when slightly damp and evens out temperature changes. The all-over merino wool terry construction traps warmth around the whole foot, not just the sole, because cold reaches your feet from every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is a highly breathable material that wicks moisture and helps keep your feet dry. For the best insulation and dryness, wear a thin merino liner sock underneath, such as the Performance Liner sock: the liner wicks moisture away from the skin, and Extra Warm provides the warmth. This keeps your feet warm and dry even on the longest trips in freezing weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so you can wash your socks less often and they last longer. When you take them off at the end of the day, you are not greeted by that familiar end-of-day smell. Instead, they feel fresh. On long trips, you can often freshen them up simply by airing them – a big advantage when washing is not an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tyytyvaisyystakuu\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance Extra Warm merino socks come with a 100-day satisfaction guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e We want you to have time to try the socks properly: wear them as normal for 100 days. If you are not satisfied with them for any reason, you will get your money back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProfessionally tested Performance Extra Warm merino wool socks for every situation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaped knitted heel fits your foot precisely, so the sock does not twist or move inside your footwear. Strong Lycra knit along the full length of the leg spreads pressure evenly down the shin, so the knee-high leg stays up all day without the tight marks you get from an ordinary ribbed cuff. No more socks that slip off or need a second thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-over merino wool terry construction is at the heart of these socks. Soft wool loops line the whole sock, not just the sole, and trap warmth all around your foot. This is exactly what makes Extra Warm our warmest sock. These socks are made for the moments when the frost is at its hardest and your feet need protection from every side. The toe seam is flat and unobtrusive, so you will not feel that familiar pressure point on top of your big toe, even after a long day. It is a small detail you only notice when it is missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance Extra Warm is designed for the very coldest conditions: winter hikes, jobs in freezing weather and long days outdoors when the temperature drops well below zero. With these socks, you can even head north for a midwinter hike and keep your feet warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Svala AIR System™ layering, Performance Extra Warm belongs to the Accessories range, which complements the main layers. While the Zero Layer and Base Layer manage moisture and warmth around your body, merino wool socks complete the system by keeping your feet warm and dry. A warm body needs warm feet too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-top: 80px;\"\u003eThoughts from the designer \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“People often think the cold only gets to your feet through the ground, so the extra warmth goes into the sole of the sock alone. In reality, cold reaches your feet from every direction. I wanted a sock with soft merino terry covering the whole foot and lower leg, and a leg that spreads pressure without squeezing. For the hardest frosts, this is our warmest solution. To get the most out of it, wear a thin merino liner sock underneath.”  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/5436\/8334\/files\/Vaikuttajan_pyorea_pohja_2.jpg?v=1789576872\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 60px; padding-right: 40px; padding-bottom: 80px;\"\u003eNinni Pohto, designer at Svala \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials with a purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance Extra Warm merino socks are made from a soft merino wool blend: 74% merino wool, 24% polyamide and 2% elastane. The high merino wool content provides warmth, breathability and natural odour resistance, polyamide adds durability, and elastane adds stretch that keeps the sock in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of these socks is the all-over merino wool terry construction: soft wool loops line the whole sock and trap warmth all around your foot. This makes Extra Warm the warmest sock in our range. The shaped knitted heel and strong Lycra knit along the full length of the leg improve the fit and spread pressure evenly down the shin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is a highly breathable material that prevents sweaty feet and helps keep them dry. Long-fibre merino wool does not itch like ordinary wool, so the socks feel soft even on sensitive skin. For the best insulation, wear a thin merino liner sock underneath, such as the Performance Liner sock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe merino wool in these socks is NATIVA™-certified, which means it is traceable and responsibly produced on mulesing-free farms. All materials meet the OEKO-TEX 100 standard, which guarantees the product is safe for skin contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend washing merino wool socks before you wear them for the first time, so they fit true to size. Please note that merino wool socks may shrink slightly in the wash. Reshape and stretch them firmly while still damp to restore their original size. The socks are made in Finland by Sukkamestarit, using responsibly produced merino wool and decades of experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeveloped in Finland for Finnish weather\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeading north for a midwinter hike?
