- HUNTERS ELEMENT APEX SOCKS
The pinnacle in premium performance socks.
The Apex are made in New Zealand from our cutting-edge blend powered by Nuyarn® Merino. Nuyarn® offers moisture management, odour control and softness. The Nuyarn® is knitted on the inside so you get the full benefit of this performance fibre against your skin.
The Apex design is shaped to the contours of your lower leg, ankle and foot. This means the sock locks in place with minimal bunching and movement, resulting in maximum comfort and greatly reduced room for blistering. The foot-mapped design places increased padding in the high-contact areas and thinner weaves in between for maximum contour and breathability.
You simply shouldn’t put cheap tube socks on one of the most important parts of your body in the mountains. High-quality socks make a world of difference on hard-working feet, and the Apex are the top of the game.
- Sizes S-XL
- Available in Forest Green
Nuyarn® utilises a never-before-seen spinning technology that doesn't twist the benefits out of wool. This blend of Merino wool along a Nylon core filament is hailed as "the world's first performance wool".
The 2ply yarn adds more loft and aeration, leaving you with socks that are quick drying, moisture wicking, odour-resistant and have excellent temperature control.
Above all, this Nuyarn® blend is extremely durable thanks to its Nylon core, resulting in high resistance to abrasion and stronger seams.
Spinning wool twists the life out of it
Nuyarn® drafts Merino wool fibres along a high-performance Nylon core, creating a structure that enhances wool's natural properties, yet remains extremely strong.
Ring spun and traditional core spun have less volume and 1-ply construction. Ring spun has a 1/80 Nm (unit of Torque), and core spun 1/50 Nm. Nuyarn® is high in volume, with a 2-ply construction and a 2/166 Nm.
NUYARN® outperforms conventional merino
Nuyarn® lasts 8.8x longer than conventional Merino. Its Nylon core provides exceptional durability, meaning they'll last hunt after hunt, and are more sustainable in the long run.
Its incredible loft and aeration make it 53% more air-resistant, and its twist-free technology gives it 50% greater burst strength (so the seam at the toe will last for the long haul).
Compared to conventional Merino, it has 85% more elasticity, providing comfort on long hunts without movement or bunching, and finally, it uses 30% less raw materials and 25% less energy.*
*Benefit claims based on independent tests carried out by AgResearch New Zealand and Intertek® Vietnam, when comparing generic Nuyarn® Merino fabric to conventional ring-spun Merino fabric.
The construction of the sock is designed to perfectly hug the contours of your foot, ankle and calf with strategically placed padding to carry you the distance without movement or bunching.
The Apex has reinforced heels and toes for extra durability, and left & right construction for an anatomical fit.
Elastic Support System (ESS™) and Comfort Zone™ cushioning
ESS™ ensures a customised fit with no bunching or riding down of the sock.
Comfort Zone™ cushioning is strategically placed for optimum protection in high-pressure areas.
The Paladin™ Protection pad provides improved blood flow through the Dorsalis Pedis artery, relieving pressure from the top of your boots.
