Liner CoolMax plus Hiker NuWool Crew Sock - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I started recommending the Liner plus Hiker combo to anyone who struggles with blisters on long days and the feedback has been unanimous. The five-toe liner eliminates the friction between toes that causes hot spots, and the NuWool Hiker worn over the top adds serious cushioning for rocky or uneven terrain."

Blisters don't show up all at once. They build slowly, one friction point at a time, until a great day on the trail becomes a long hobble back to the car. The Injinji Liner CoolMax plus Hiker NuWool Crew Sock addresses the problem at the source with a two-sock system designed to remove friction before it becomes damage.

The ultra-thin CoolMax Liner wraps each toe individually, wicking sweat away from the skin and eliminating the toe-on-toe friction that causes most trail blisters. The NuWool Hiker Crew goes on over the top, adding heavy cushioning against rocky and uneven terrain while the NuWool blend regulates temperature and manages moisture across changing conditions. Wearing the two together means any movement between sock layers happens between the Liner and Hiker rather than between sock and skin, keeping feet dry, protected, and comfortable from the first mile to the last. For day hikes and multi-day backpacking trips alike, this combo handles the miles so feet arrive in better shape than they started.
