Why alpaca

Alpaca vs. Merino Wool vs. Cotton

How alpaca fiber stacks up against the two most common sock materials, rated honestly.

This sock: Light warmth, Soft softness

Comparison of alpaca, merino wool and cotton sock fibers
Feature Warrior Alpaca Merino Wool Cotton
Warmth Best Hollow fibers trap heat, warmer than wool without the bulk Good Warm, but needs more bulk for the same heat Poor Little insulation, and none once it gets wet
Moisture-wicking Best Pulls sweat away and dries fast Good Wicks well, dries more slowly Poor Absorbs sweat and stays wet
Odor resistance Best Naturally antimicrobial, stays fresh in boots Good Resists odor well Poor Traps odor after a day of wear
Itch-free softness Best Smooth fiber scales, no prickle Good Soft, though some feel a prickle Good Soft and itch-free
Sensitive skin Best Lanolin-free and hypoallergenic Fair Contains lanolin, which can irritate Good Gentle on most skin
Durability Best Strong fiber that holds its shape Good Durable, prone to felting if overheated Fair Wears thin and stretches out

My turn

"This company offers exemplary quality, service, and price points. I will be back for other gifts, but I am going to buy something(s) for myself. Felted insoles & liners are just the first."

— Keith J. (5/5)

Follow up to my 12/5 review

"I received a phone call about the sizing issue and were quickly replaced with size Small. They fit like they should for my size 8. I wanted these colors to jazz up my brown hiking boots in warmer weather. They are a thinner sock."

— kkoz (5/5)

Too Big

"I was looking for a hiking sock for warmer weather. I wear a women's size 8 so ordered the Medium according to the size chart. Both the Rose and Gold are too large and hang beyond my toes. I'll try the small. Otherwise they just seem like socks since I haven't worn or washed them yet."
