icebreaker socks are proportionally adjusted to provide the perfect fit. Socks in the women's range have a reduced circumference to be a perfect fit for slimmer feet. The Y heel construction is extended to prevent socks slipping on women's smaller ankles, and the toe box is narrowed to reduce bulk. Note: If you are between sizing, icebreaker recommend you size down.
The Hike Light Cushion Crew Sock keeps kids' feet dry, comfortable and odour free how ever long they're out on their outdoor adventures. It features light cushioning underfoot, Achilles and instep support to prevent slipping and provide stability, and seamless toe to prevent blisters.

Technologies
Merino wool is super lightweight, soft, moisture-wicking, non-itchy, non-clammy, warm in the cold and cool in the heat, and has a miraculous ability to resist odour. Because it was made in the mountains rather than in a petrochemical laboratory. It's naturally renewable, recyclable and biodegradable.

The smaller the micron, the finer the fibre, the softer it feels. The diameter of a Merino fibre is measured in microns – where one micron equals one millionth of a metre. icebreaker's Merino fibres range from 15.5 to 23.5 microns to ensure a soft hand feel across our skin to outer layers. Finer fibres feel softer because they bend more easily when in contact with the skin.
icebreaker next-to-skin layers: 15.5-18.5 micron
icebreaker mid layers: 18.6-22.5 micron
icebreaker outer layers: 22.6-23 micron
