Benefits of Merino Wool
Moisture Wicking
Merino wool is the best fiber to regulate moisture. It does this by absorbing sweat from your skin and releasing it into the air. Whether you're hiking, running, biking, on the job, or just relaxing at home, our wool helps keep you dry and comfortable all day long.
Soft & Comfortable
Merino wool fibers are much finer than traditional wool, creating a luxuriously soft feel that won’t itch or irritate your skin. Comfortable enough for everyday wear and gentle enough for sensitive skin, it’s a natural choice for underwear, base layers and next-to-skin comfort.
Highly Breathable
Merino wool’s unique structure allows air to circulate freely, helping to regulate your body temperature in both hot and cold weather conditions. Whether you're layering up for winter or staying cool in summer, Merino keeps you comfortable by letting your skin breathe.
Anti-Microbial
Merino wool naturally resists odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresher for longer. No lingering smells, even after extended wear. Perfect for travel, outdoor adventures, and everyday life.
Insulates When Wet
Merino wool can hold up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy against the skin. Unlike cotton or synthetic fabrics, it keeps insulating when damp, making it a smart choice for unpredictable weather and high-output activity.
Fire Resistant
Merino wool is naturally fire-resistant and self-extinguishing. It will not melt or stick to your skin like synthetic fabrics. A trusted option for first responders, campfire safety, or any high-heat environment.
UV Protection
Our Merino wool clothing helps protect you from the sun’s harmful rays, with different levels of UPF based on fabric weight:
-
Microweight (145 GSM): UPF 20
-
Lightweight (170 GSM): UPF 25
-
Midweight (245 GSM): UPF 50+
-
Heavyweight (400 GSM): UPF 50+
These natural UV-blocking properties make Merino wool ideal for long days or the beach or above treeline.
Renewable and Sustainable
Merino wool is a natural, biodegradable fiber with a low environmental footprint. Grown by Australian Merino sheep and shorn seasonally, it is a renewable material that supports responsible farming practices.

I have to wear steel toed boots for work. After 4 hours, my feet get swampy with perspiration. Not so much anymore with these socks. They breath nicely even when boots are on. Glad I bought 3 pairs.

I have worn these socks for a few days now. I am pleased with them. They are very warm, soft, and flexible. They don't stink, they're still comfortable to wear after getting wet, and they dry quickly--if you turn them inside out. Can't speak to durability yet, but it is a thick, sturdy sock, so I'm sure it'll do well.

Pure perfection
The thickness of these socks provided much more cushioning and warmth than other wool socks that i have used over the years. Despite the thickness, the fit in my nordic ski boots was excellent and felt great well below 0F. The socks performed well on long snowshoe hikes where my hiking boots were wet. the socks retained the warmth despite being wet.
I have purchased many socks over my 72 years but most of the "winter" socks I have gotten have been somewhat of a disappointment to me and mostly because of not being well made and not lasting that long. I found out about minus33 from a review of another brand while researching for a winter coat. Well after looking at the their site and looking at different products I called them and it was a pleasure to talk with a real friendly and knowledgeable person that answered all of my questions very well. So I then ordered some of their workhorse crew socks as well as some other items. After receiving them and wearing them for some time, I went online and ordered another dozen of the same socks. They are very comfortable and warm and I wear them with anything, shoes, boots and slippers and sometimes don't even wear slippers but do most of the time because I don't want to wear out the bottoms of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone that appreciates quality.
Ed,
Great to hear your Minus33 Merino Wool Workhorse Crew Socks - Midweight are the most awesome socks you have ever had.
Thank you for the great review!
-Jeannie T.
These are nice but I don't think they're the same as the midweight workhorse crew sock I bought a year ago. They don't seem as thick and the material seems different. They're also taller/longer than the crew socks I had previously bought. I think these are suppose to be the same as the other ones I bought previously but I can't find my receipt or anything. I liked the ones I bought before a lot they were thick and cushiony. These ones are not like that.
