- Are these warmer than merino hunting socks?
- Hollow alpaca traps air well, so warmth is comparable to midweight merino. Merino handles repeated washing and abrasion better; alpaca feels softer against the skin.
- Will they stay up under boots?
- The elastane blend gives a snug, stretchy fit that resists sliding down. Crew height keeps them above most boot tops.
- How should I wash them?
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle or by hand, and air dry. Heat from a dryer can shrink the alpaca and wear out the stretch.
- Are they thick enough for late-season hunts?
- They are a midweight sock, good for cool to cold days. For deep cold or long sits, pair them with a liner or choose a heavier cushioned sock.
- Do they itch like wool?
- Alpaca fiber is smoother than wool, so most wearers find it soft and non-itchy, even on sensitive skin.

- At Scheels, for $22.99, as of our latest check.
