Designed for comfort, they fit loosely around your feet and ankles, keeping you cozy without feeling restrictive.

Sleep Socks: Because Rest Deserves Its Own Gear

You’ve been there—miles of dirt, sweat and effort behind you. You finally crawl into your sleeping quilt, body exhausted, feet aching, only to pull on the same damp, crusty socks you hiked in all day. Not exactly the comfort you were dreaming of.

That’s why we crafted the Sleep Socks — designed only for sleeping. At just ~22g per pair, they’re half the weight of a Snickers bar and pack down smaller than a fist, disappearing into your kit until you need them most.

Born on the PCT

Halfway through the Pacific Crest Trail, I realized my third pair of socks—the ones meant for sleeping—were actually useless. They were too tight around my feet, restricting circulation and making me colder, not warmer. Worse, they weighed a wicked 80g/2.8oz, adding unnecessary weight to my pack. That’s when it hit me — my sleep socks needed to be different.

Soft. Breathable. Weightless. Loose enough to let your blood flow. No compression, no sweaty feel, just dry, comfortable warmth for the deep rest you need to keep trucking the next day.

Because recovery isn’t a luxury — it’s part of the adventure.
