What is the difference between smartwool and merino wool?
While they both will regulate foot temperature and keep your feet warm when its cold, the fibers that they're made out of are the biggest differences. Merino socks are made from: 33% merino wool, 33% recycled polyester, 32% nylon, and 2% spandex. Meanwhile, Smartwool socks are made from: 79% wool, 20% nylon, and 1% elastic. Also, Smartwool has WOW (Wool on Wool) technology, which adds durability and performance with an additional layer of SmartWool to protect the heel and forefoot against shock and abrasion. Basically, both socks have fairly simliar benefits, but Smartwool socks are more for comfort and warmth, and Merino socks are better at moisture wicking, to keep your feet dry, such as when running or cycling.
