Peak to Plateau Yak Wool Socks

Whether you’re camping in cold weather, skiing some backcountry powder, or just looking for extra warmth while out on the town, these Peak to Plateau socks will keep your feet cozy. Available in three styles, each pair is made with yak wool, which is prized for its warmth, breathability, temperature regulation, UV protection, and natural bacteria resistance. Each features elastic arches, ribbed cuffs, a reinforced heel and toe, and a Y-lock heel. Keeping it simple, the light trail crew socks have a classic design with integrated mesh panels for enhanced breathability. The Ladakh crew socks come with light cushioning in the shin and underfoot, as well as an anatomical construction for enhanced comfort. Finally, the Pamir ski socks incorporate all the features of the Ladakh, but with thicker cushioning and a higher rise for better leg coverage.

After months of living and working with the local yak herders and nomads of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, Stefan Warnaar set out to make better outdoor products—ones that would encourage adventure and stand up to the world’s most beautiful, extreme environments. Soon, Peak to Plateau was born, and ever since has been producing performance garments using yak fiber. Dedicated to environmental and social sustainability, the company purchases ethically sourced yak fiber from cooperatives on the Tibetan Plateau to ensure herders receive the fair income they rely on. The rest is done in house: the fiber spun into a superfine yarn, knit into a unique fabric, and crafted into the final product.
