Indestructawool™ Technology
Smartwool's new, patent-pending Indestructawool™ technology isn’t just something added to their performance socks, but a whole new way to build them. Smartwool developed a new, much more durable knitting technique that enables 30% more choss-filled approaches, gut-wrenching descents, and paradigm-shifting summits.
        
4 Degree™ Elite Fit
X MARKS THE SPOT. The iconic x-patterned 4 Degree™ elite fit is one of Smartwool's key technologies. It unites all activity-specific Smartwool® PhD® socks from cycle to mountaineer and beyond. Locked-in, blister-repellent, ready-to-go platform that enables less slippage and more summits. This helps to not only go far, but to go fast, go freely, and go ferociously!

ZQ-Certified Merino Wool
After 25 years, Merino wool is still Smartwool's secret sauce. It helps regulate body temperature, moves moisture away from your skin at a vapor level, and resists odors. The PhD® socks use higher-quality, finer Merino wool in order to further increase durability and softness.

The ZQ Difference
Happy sheep grow better wool ZQ-certified wool is a New Zealand program that ensures the highest-quality fibers while elevating animal welfare, environmental care, and social sustainability.
