Gifts for the Outdoors Lover
Shop for the hiker, the hunter or the skier on your list. Alpaca stays warm when boots let water in, and it holds down odor through a full day in the field.
Start with the Ultimate Trekker for the trail, the camo hunting crew for the stand, or the Outdoorsman box if you want three pairs in one.
Gift questions
Do they stay warm if boots get wet?
Yes. Alpaca keeps insulating when it's damp, and it holds down odor through a full day in the same boots.
What size should I buy?
Match their shoe size to our sock size chart. If it's off, they can exchange it.
Can they return or exchange a gift?
Yes. Anything bought Nov 15 to Dec 15 can be returned until Jan 15. Final-sale items with prices ending in .98 can't be returned. Returns and exchanges
Gift Guide
Alpaca Socks for Outdoor Families
Family adventure gifts should survive a trail, a cold sideline, and the ride home. Warrior alpaca hiking, hunting, and warm styles give a household one fiber that wicks, insulates, and does not smell like the last outing.
Which Pair to Buy
How to Choose
Match the sock to the trip, not the wrapping:
- Trail: hiking socks
- Hunt: hunting socks
- Snow: ski & snowboard or warm
- One box for the crew: sock boxes
Care Instructions
How to Care for Alpaca Socks So They Last
A short routine keeps the warmth, wicking, and shape intact for years.
- WashMachine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fiber and kills warmth and wicking.
- DryAir dry or tumble dry low. Heat is what wears socks out — keep them out of a hot dryer and they last far longer.
- Don'tNo bleach, no iron, no hot water.
- Wear LongerAlpaca's natural antimicrobial resists odor, so socks can go several wears between washes without smelling.
