$27.49
Divide are lightweight, mid-calf length blended merino gravel riding socks for moving fast on bridleway blasts and multi-day bikepacking trips. The combination of merino wool with Coolmax and Thermolite fibres gives ultimate thermal performance, comfort and moisture management. With polyamide for added durability.
- Natural soft merino for all-day comfort
- Blended merino with Coolmax and Thermolite fibres
- Highly breathable and moisture wicking
- 3 year Alpine Bond guarantee
Cushioning zones across the sole and at the rear give support to these high pressure areas while maximising breathability across the rest of the foot, and a seamless construction further reduces the risk of blisters and hotspots on longer gravel rides and multi-day bikepacking trips. Increased polyamide content at the toe, heel and across the sole adds durability, extending the lifespan of your socks for 100's of miles.
Merino wool is one of natures wonder materials. Soft and comfy against the skin, its natural breathability, fast wicking and odour resistance make it perfect for multi-day hikes in all weathers. Wool can absorb one third of its weight without feeling wet, making them great for avoiding blisters on warmer days. Coolmax synthetic fibres blended into the yarn help transfer moisture away from the skin faster, boosting the wicking properties of merino even further and the hollow Thermolite fibres trap warm air on cooler days. The addition of 4% elastane into the blend adds subtle stretch that keeps your socks in place without compressing your ankle.

Sustainability and Product Care
Care advice
Avoid snagging, vigorous machine washing, putting your finger through the fabric, and hungry moths. Those darn moths. Merino is naturally odour-resistant, requiring less washing. When your socks do start to whiff, hand wash it in lukewarm water or stick it on a delicates cycle at 30°C. Use a gentle soap instead of detergents if you can, and do not use conditioners or fabric softeners.

End of life

Non-mulesed wool
We only use wool from certified non-mulesed sources. Mulesing is a practice some farms use to guard against parasitic fly strike. We believe this practice is cruel and unnecessary and something that can be easily prevented by regular shearing.
Where it is made
Our products are made in the best factories in the world. We know the factories personally and they have all signed up to our Code of Ethics in our supply chain. This includes the Ethical Trading Initiative base code, fair pay, safe working environments, no child labour, no modern slavery, no bribery or corruption, no materials from conflict zones and humane farming methods.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
