Mesa are lightweight, low profile, crew length Coolmax liner socks that come in a pack of 2 pairs. Close fitting and highly wicking, they're designed to be worn under your hiking socks in a 2-layer system to reduce friction with your boot and help prevent blisters on longer hikes and multi-day trips.
- Highly breathable and moisture wicking Coolmax fibres
- Low profile knit to fit under Liskam, Ushbar or Talus hiking socks
- Sole, heel and toe reinforced with polyamide for added durability
- 3 year Alpine Bond guarantee
A liner sock works as part of a 2-sock system. Sitting next to the skin, the liner rubs against the hiking sock which in turn rubs against the boot, this dual layer helps reduce friction between your skin and the boot and spread out the wear on your foot, preventing hotspots and blisters from developing. Using a liner also means you can pack fewer hiking socks and wear them longer between washes on longer trips. They're also great on their own as ultra lightweight socks for everyday use in the height of summer.
Coolmax engineered polyester fibres move moisture away from your skin quickly while an increased polyamide content at the toe, heel and across the sole adds durability extending the lifespan of your socks for 100's of miles. 2% elastane helps keep your socks firmly in place without feeling compressive and a seamless construction further reduces the risk of blisters and hotspots on longer hikes. The end result is a high wicking and durable pair of liner socks that keep your feet cool, dry and comfortable on long days in the hills.

Sustainability and Product Care
Care advice
Avoid snagging, vigorous machine washing, putting your finger through the fabric, and hungry moths. Those darn moths. When your socks do start to whiff, hand wash them in lukewarm water or stick them 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.

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.
