Smartwool Socks - Stay Cool & Support Breast Cancer

The Smartwool Socks web site sells many different kinds of wool socks as well as providing support to breast cancer research. The Smartwool company will donate 2% of your purchase of socks towards breast cancer research. This is a really great initiative since many women every year succumb to breast cancer and the spreading of cancer. Now back to socks sold by Smartwool. So why are wool socks smart? The natural breathable fibres from wool are cooler than many synthetic socks because they wick away moisture quickly which allows the moisture to evaporate and cool the foot.

The Smartwool sock has sufficient air pockets throughout the wool socks, which allow a number of things to occur. First the air trapped in the wool sock actually acts as an insulator to help keep the feet warm the same way that air between two pains of glass acts as an insulator. In addition the air in between the fibres of the sock also allow the moisture to remain as vapour and therefore will cause the moisture to wick away more quickly and keep the feet at a comfortable temperature. These socks are the result of a combination of technology and the natural tendency for wool socks to be a conductor of moisture.

Both men and women can wear Smartwool wool socks as well as children who often need socks to dissipate moisture from around the feet. Hot days and lots of activity can make for very hot feet. The Smartwool company makes use of the merino wool fibres found especially in New Zealand. These special wool fibres will feel springy and stay soft on your feet for many months of continuous use and washing.
