Named after a 1970s band that traveled and performed at lean-tos along the Appalachian Trail, the VanGrizzle is truly seasoned. While that story is fictional, it is a fact that a Merino wool trail sock thrives in the elements – allowing you to embrace the outdoors without discomfort.

Unrivaled Durability

We focus on one thing and do it better than anyone else – just ask any thru-hiker, and you’re likely to hear the same. To guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable, maintain comfort, and fit perfectly over countless miles on the trail. The socks that come back through our warranty inform our improvements, and we actively implement those changes. Our guarantee is a promise to you, but it also sets a standard for us to uphold. We have yet to produce our best sock, but we strive to improve with every step we take.
