The Elyse Saugstad Pro Series Sock was the first women’s specific backcountry sock. Boasting the same technical features as Cody Townsend’s sock, Elyse has left her mark by adjusting the sizing to be a more women’s specific fit — slightly shorter in forefoot length and leg height. Rumour has it she also skis harder than Cody...

Crafted from Le Bent's Signature Merino Blend, the sock ensures exceptional breathability, temperature regulation, and comfort by melding the luxuriously soft on-skin properties of bamboo rayon and the unrivaled odor resistance of merino wool. The Definitive Fit System™ and their proprietary foot molding Memory Stretch™ deliver a precise form fit, with a semi-compression zero cushion profile, ventilation panels for airflow on the boot pack, and an anti-wrinkling, elasticated instep that doesn’t bunch underfoot. Innovative silicone strips on the heel and upper calf keep the sock locked in place, aided by a technically knit Achilles support band that drastically minimizes heel lift while you hike, eliminating blisters and hot spots.

An intensely technical sock with a natural aesthetic inspired by the sculpted peaks and shadowed chutes that Elyse Saugstad loves.
