HIKER TRASH ZERO DAY “HIKE TREK CREW”｜High-Durability Merino Wool Socks Forged on Long Trails

A reliable pair of socks born to keep you moving.

HIKER TRASH “ZERO DAY ‘HIKE TREK CREW’” was born from the experience of long-distance hiker “SKETCH” Ryosuke Kawato and the technical prowess of Japanese sock brand ROTOTO. These trail socks have undergone approximately 5,000 km of field testing on the Continental Divide Trail, achieving an excellent balance of comfort and durability.

By skillfully blending synthetic fibers with shrink-resistant merino wool, these socks ensure superior moisture absorption and release, as well as odor resistance, while also providing high durability. They are ideal for long-distance hikes and treks, as well as a wide range of other outdoor activities such as cycling trips and bikepacking.
