Design and Performance
The Starston sock is engineered to maintain warmth in cold environments while preventing moisture build-up. The merino wool interior absorbs moisture away from the skin, improving breathability and thermal comfort.
At the same time, the Aquasealz™ membrane prevents external water from entering the sock, ensuring dry feet even in wet or snowy conditions. The combination of natural and synthetic fibres creates a durable and high-performance outdoor sock suitable for demanding conditions.
Its mid-length design and supportive elastic ankle structure make the Starston ideal for mountaineering, trekking, climbing and cold-weather hiking.
