Design and Performance
The Bircham sock combines natural fibres with high-performance technical materials. The merino wool lining provides softness and helps regulate temperature, while synthetic fibres enhance durability and moisture management.
The Aquasealz™ membrane forms a fully waterproof barrier, preventing external moisture from entering the sock. At the same time, internally generated moisture is released, helping maintain dry and comfortable feet during active use.
This combination makes the Bircham ideal for hiking, trail running, mountain biking and other outdoor activities where waterproof protection and breathability are essential.
