Point6 Expands Ski and Snowboard Collections with Uphill Friendly Designs for Fall 2015

Comfy in the Skin Track: Point6 Expands Ski and Snowboard Collections with Uphill Friendly Designs for Fall 2015

Steamboat, Colo. — (Jan. 28, 2015) — Point6, specialists in performance merino wool and makers of the best wool socks ever®, expands its offerings in the snowsports category for Fall 2015. The new styles will debut at the upcoming Snowsports Industries of America (SIA) Snow Show in Denver this month. 

Just like their skin tracks heading in the hills, backcountry skiing and snowboarding continue to show the most growth in the snowsports industry and Point6 is right there with them. New for FW15, the leader in durable merino socks responds with ski-focused expansions to an already stacked lineup.
High intensity, stop-and-go activities such as ski touring and split boarding are perfect for Point6’s durable blend of merino wool and nylon reinforcement. The natural fibers help regulate temperature and control moisture in the upper switchbacks.

These new offerings feature ultralight cushioning to prevent moisture build-up, keeping feet cozy. The anatomical fit of Point6 socks complements the ultralight cushioning to keep a tight profile inside touring boots, which fights blisters late in the day.

Just like the rest of the Point6 lineup, the new backcountry options feature 100% compact spun yarn. Alongside minimal nylon structure, these tough fibers resist pilling, burring, or erosion via hotspots to expand the lifetime of the sock through many days deep in the mountains. Merino’s natural anti-microbial properties help to prevent the bacteria that cause odor, so prepare to put your socks  right over the hut stove and hear no complaints.
