How are the Maximum and Moderate Hiking socks different?Updated 8 days ago

Maximum Hiking and Moderate Hiking both have:

• Cushion in the ball of the foot and heel
• Light cushion in the arch and a cushioned instep for better fit and support
• A low profile toe seam to protect against rubbing and irritation
• Ventilation panels for moisture wicking
• Gender specific, with both a men's and women's version

Here are the differences between the Maximum and Moderate Hiking socks:

• Maximum Hiking is for day hikes or extended backpacking in most weather conditions, on varied to difficult terrain resulting in moderate to significant stress on the feet.
• Moderate Hiking is for day hikes in warmer weather on flat to varied terrain, resulting in low to moderate stress on the feet.
• Moderate Hiking contains Thorwick Cool fiber.
