Smartwool

While socks may not be the most glamorous fashion item to discuss, anyone who has spent any amount of time in the snow knows exactly how important socks are. Smartwool is an American company that built its brand on socks but produces much more than that.

Smartwool was founded in 1994 in Colorado by two ski instructors. The company’s products are made using treated merino wool. The treated wool is itch-free and resistant to shrinking. Smartwool also offers superior moisture wicking performance, making it an excellent choice for performance skiing apparel. The socially conscious brand has a practice of not sourcing its wool from suppliers who practice mulesing.
