Buy 2 Pairs of Thorlos Hiking Socks and Save 25%: May 23 – June 19
Do you know what’s better than treating yourself to a new pair of hiking socks? Buying two pairs of socks and taking 25% off with our hiking socks sale! There are many advantages to wearing hiking-specific socks on the trail—preventing blisters, keeping feet dry, and the extra cushioning to the ball and heel of the foot. The truth is they are so much better than traditional cotton socks that many nature enthusiasts will often wear them around the house, at school, or even at work.
To help you choose the best pairs that fit your outdoor needs, we're breaking down our favorite features from Thorlos hiking socks available in-store and online at the official retailer of the Scouting America! Even though outdoor socks tend to be more durable than cotton socks, it can be tricky rotating pairs when you want to wear them frequently throughout the week but don't have many options to choose from inside your drawer (does anyone else find themselves washing a load of laundry every few days because of this problem?) Thankfully, we at Scout Shop know the struggle all too well, so we've come up with this can't-miss-deal on Thorlos Hiking Socks from May 23rd to June 19th.

If you are hiking in the mountains or during the cooler months of the year, you need these thick hiking socks! It's no surprise we'd begin this list with the best sock for avid hikers. This sock’s blended Primaloft merino wool is moisture-wicking and provides plenty of insulation when hiking in cooler temperatures like spring and fall. For backpackers who spend multiple days on the trail, the CuTEC copper yarn is best. The fabric provides odor reduction and has many anti-fungal properties to keep feet healthy and reduce the smell of unpleasant odors. The ventilated panels help keep your feet cool, and the form-fitting, compression-grade ankle offers all-day comfort, which is nice to know when your hike can span anywhere from six hours to a few days.

The Scouts BSA Thorlos Uniform Light Hiking Low Cut Socks include similar ventilation panels to other socks on this list that provide superior moisture-wicking technology while keeping your feet cool. These low-cut socks are ideal for warm-weather hikes, day walks, or running. You'll enjoy the moderate cushioning in the ball and heel as it reduces shock, impact, shear, and blisters—light cushioning in the arch for better fit and support. Thorlos designed these walking socks for day hikes in moderate to hot climates (anyone hiking at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer?), and at the competitive price of $17.49, these socks make too much sense for casual and hardcore hikers alike.

Few uniforms are as ingrained into the fabric of American culture as the Scouts BSA uniform. Would it be a stretch to say the Scouting America uniform is one of the most iconic ensembles globally? We don't think so—especially when the organization has been around for more than 100 years. It's only fitting, of course, that we'd introduce a hiking sock that is both ultra-comfortable and gives you the throwback Scout look. Thorlos goes above and beyond testing all of its socks' moisture-wicking capabilities, and these Thorlos Scouting America Classic Knee Socks are no exception. This lightweight sock's Thorlo Acrylic keeps your feet dry and cool even as the temperature outside rises, whether at summer camp or on a day hike.

When you’re enjoying the outdoors in the summertime, there are a few questions you’ll want to ask yourself when choosing the best summer hiking socks. Keep in mind that the average pair of feet can sweat up to half a pint of sweat in a single day (gross but true). So, can you imagine just how much moisture socks must absorb on a summer hike?
- Will the socks keep your feet dry?
- Will the socks hold onto odors?
- Will the socks be as effective if you turn them inside-out?
These are just a few of the same questions Thorlos sock engineers ask themselves every day. And we must say they are doing quite an excellent job delivering a sock that is as well-suited for the summer heat as the Scouts BSA Uniform Hiking Sock. Designed specifically to meet the uniform requirements for the Scouts BSA, these outdoor socks are engineered for ultimate comfort on all your Scout adventures! They are resilient and durable, with a built-in ventilation panel and an exclusive fabric blend of Thor-Lon Acrylic and Nylon. The sock’s moderate cushioning in the arch is perfect for comfort and a better fit for Scouts as they grow older. The thick cushioning in the ball and heel reduces shock when you’re hiking and helps prevent blisters, so you’re ready for the next day’s challenge.
