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 & 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.

Benefits of Merino Wool
These are so thick and soft. But the best part is that I generally have never been able to wear tall socks because I have big calves. These are able to comfortably pull up my calves without any constriction. I'm looking forward to trying these this winter.
Needed to start replacing another brand. Wife got a pair of these, and couldn't stop talking about how warm & cozy they were. Tried them. Yep, Softer, fluffier - and warmer than my previous when new! Minus 33 knows what they're doing!
superior quality, efficient company and American made hard to beat these factors

GREAT SOCKS, VERY SOFT AND COMFORTABLE. THEY KEEP MY FEET NICE AND WARM.
I wasn't sure of what to expect. The sock is definitely heavy weight, but the large felt like an XL sock, as I had to pull the heel part up out of my shoe to make it fit in my shoe and on my foot. It is super warm however! And I really like my feet to be warm!
These are great. Wore these on a 3 day camping trip. I was comfortable and warm the whole time. Even slept in them.
Great sock ,Great service
I love these socks! I have mid crew and heavy weight boot both are wonderful... thick.... cushiony.....warm. I also have the shirts and bottoms. They are my favorites as long johns or as leggings and shirt.
Totally awesome!
VERY warm and although they were puffy on first wear they quickly shaped to my foot.
Extremely warm and comfortable
Thick wool socks that fit like a glove and breathe great. I wear them daily at home, at work, and on the trail. Very pleased.
Comfortable and warm. Love these socks!
I’ve wore these socks on my winter hike up Monadnock Mountain NH.
The socks really kept my feet warm and dry.
Properly worn, these wool socks are very warm, there is a lot of cushion, and thick warm wool. The key to warm feet is to properly dress them. Starting with dry bare feet is a must. A clean dry pair of minus 33 sock liners then slip on these heavy boot socks and depending on your boot you will be warm. Keeping your feet dry, warm socks and having great winter boots is key.
These are the warmest socks! I work as a Sauna Guide in Duluth, MN, and frequently work outside in well below zero and then pop into a 180+ degree sauna. One day it was -45 (with windchill), and I stayed generally warm for several hours outside with minimal breaks and only light activity (wearing these and some Lems Boulder Boots with the insoles removed). I couldn't believe how effective these were! Also love these for hunting. I did love them so much that I would wear them indoors almost like slippers, and they wore a hole in the big toes pretty quickly so I'd recommend keeping for boot wear only. Still totally worth it! Much warmer than any smartwool, darn tough or other top brands from REI, etc.
very nice socks
Super warm and comfortable
We're so glad to hear that our Heavyweight Boot Socks are keeping you warm and comfortable! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it. Keep adventuring in comfort!
Good value keep your feet dry and warm.
These socks are nice but they are not very warm. I do a lot of ice fishing and my toes still get cold even with 2 pairs of socks. One regular pair and the outside pair are these expedition socks. I just received them a 2 weeks ago and with temps in the 20’s my toes still get cold when they’re advertised for temps below zero. The boots I’m wearing are thick Cabela’s pack boots also.

Warm as advertised! A good buy!
I have ordered 6 or 8 times from Minus33. They are truly a great company to do business with, and their products have all delighted me. First, I’m a very large guy and they have socks, wool tops, bottoms, and hats which actually fit me! You can easily TALK to them on the phone if you need to, and they go the extra mile if you have an issue or just need some help. Also, Merino wool is amazing by itself! It suppresses bacterial growth, so where I used to need to pack 7 or 8 pair of socks for a camping trip, now 2 pair are sufficient. Hopefully not ‘TMI’, but I take my socks off after 6 or 7 days of continuously wearing them, and I only smell the detergent that I used to wash them! Highly recommended!! John

I’ve bought merino socks from other vendors that are very durable and these are not what I expected the ones I purchased before have thick cushioning and are actually less than half the cost that I paid for three pairs not impressed. Sorry being honest.

I purchased two pairs of the Expedition Boot Socks Mountain Heritage for work because my regular cotton socks were not cutting it, and I am so glad I did. My feet feel noticeably warmer, and my toes no longer feel like they're going to fall off. Not to mention, they are incredibly comfortable!

I bought these in preparation for an outdoor event that requires me to carry 50 lbs of gear for two days...great fit and the thickness worked perfectly for both the environment and my boots...I bought a second pair!
