Stravaiger Merino Hiking Socks – Made in Scotland
£21.99
Our take on the classic terry-looped hiking sock. We’ve taken the much loved hiking sock design and brought it up-to-date with Moggans’ superfine merino wool, precise fit and technical features.
DESIGNED, TESTED AND MADE IN SCOTLAND.
100% mulesing-free superfine merino wool next to the skin provides superb moisture management, warmth and all day comfort.
“STRAVAIG old scots. v. to roam, wander (about), travel through, etc.
Stravaig is often used to describe casual or aimless wandering, to travel in the hills for no other reason than the sheer joy of doing so.”

Stravaiger Fit
Our Stravaiger socks are our take on a traditional hiking sock. In line with this style of sock, and to make them more appropriate for use with walking boots or higher volume footwear, they are a more generous and relaxed fit than the other socks in our range.
If you have a narrow or low volume foot, or are between sizes we would therefore advise sizing down.
Should you have any queries about fitting (or anything else for that matter) please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’ll be happy to asnwer your questions.
A Note About Colours
To celebrate the manufacture of our Stravaiger socks in the Highlands we’ve added the colour name in Gaelic. Gaelic is a wonderfully descriptive language with a strong connection to the landscape and the natural world. The colours are as follows:
Liath = Grey as in the grey of shattered quartzite screes as found on Beinn Liath Mhor (big grey hill) between Achnashellach and Torridon,
Gorm = Blue as in the dark blue/grey of a snow covered hill in an approaching storm. Think Cairngorm or Meall Gorm (both blue hill).
Dearg = Red, and pronounced “Jearg”, as in the red of Torridonian Sandstone. Think of the dramatic Maol Chean-dearg (bald red head) or, Ben Nevis’ neighbour, Carn Mor Derag (big red hill)
Material Composition
73% Merino Wool, 26% GRS Certified Recycled Nylon, 1% Elastane
