Description
Originally launched by Norsewear in the 80’s, the Ruahine Wind Blocker was New Zealand’s first pure wool jersey with a breathable wind blocker lining. Setting the standard for warmth and comfort in the toughest conditions, it’s been a favourite for farmers, tradespeople, forestry workers, hunters, and fishermen ever since. At Norsewear we reckon nothing is achieved by standing still, so we decided to make the best even better. Enter the Ruahine Pocket. A 100% traceable Wool Integrity NZ certified North Island wool outer, an upgraded breathable wind blocker lining and a zip pocket that fits a mobile phone. So if you’re looking for Tough Comfort look no further. We’re always straight up, so we want you to know that that this is one of the very few Norsewear products made to our design and specification by a longstanding offshore partner, using yarn we supply them.

Can you machine wash Norsewear Merino socks?
Yes, Norsewear Merino socks are machine washable. We recommend a warm or cold gentle cycle and tumble drying on low, or line drying. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning. Merino wool is naturally resilient to odour and can be worn multiple times before washing.

What is the difference between the Norsewear Expedition Cold Weather and Expedition Temperate socks?
The Expedition Cold Weather sock is heavier-weight, designed for colder temperatures and providing maximum warmth and cushioning. The Expedition Temperate is lighter — suited to milder conditions and lower-altitude activities. Both are developed from the NZ Defence Force design brief. If you're tramping in winter or above the snowline, choose Cold Weather. For three-season use or summer hunting, Temperate is the better fit.
