These are absolutely the warmest socks. I take them backpacking to put on when I get into camp and they keep my feet toasty.

– Amy W., ★★★★★

When the campfire just isn’t enough to keep you warm and your feet need a little extra help heating up, Brushtail Possum Socks are an ultralight must have. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these socks are sure to keep your toes nice and toasty.

These socks are very thick and warm! They are rugged enough to hike in on cold days, and they also make excellent sleep socks. They are great for winter sports as well.

For extra warmth pair these socks with our Brushtail Possum Gloves!

*Socks are non-returnable if they have been removed from the packaging.

Brushtail Possum Socks are produced by combining the fur of New Zealand's brushtail possum and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool.

The hair of brushtail possum is hollow, just like Polar Bear hair, which provides incredible warmth and water resistant.  While typical wool socks may stay warm when wet, they take forever to dry. If you get these socks wet, the water shakes right out and they dry quickly.

New Zealand's possums are unrelated to the opossums found in the United States. They are super cute, but they are also an invasive species that destroy the native plant and bird life.

29% Brushtail Possum Fiber

51% Merino Wool

19% Nylon

1% Elastic

Made in New Zealand.

Washing

Socks can be hand washed in a sink with warm water and soap or in a traditional washing machine.

Drying

The socks can be air dried, or tumble dried. They may shrink a little in a dryer, but they stretch back out without issue.

These keep me warm

Overall I like the socks for warmth. They are a bit oversized for me. I am a size 10 and ordered the large. To be fair these were bought for sleeping in the cold. I wouldn't walk through camp in these particular socks, they are fuzzy and hold onto a lot of sticky sticks and the like. Again, I bought them as a part of my sleeping system and for that I appreciate their warmth and the fact that they are not tight on my ankles.
