Mountain Weekly News – Mike Hardaker is now a merino believer!

               The Running Light Mini won him over!

“The founders of the Merino wool movement have started a new performance sock company offering socks for years round enjoyment. Point6 has created the Running Light Mini, a highly breathable thin merino wool sock. To be honest I was hesitant to stuff wool socks into my running shoes as I thought it would cause my feet to sweat and blister. I was completely wrong as most of my socks will be switching over to merino wool due to the great air http://mtnweekly.com/sock-reviews-23138flow. Rating 4.5”

Gear Institute – Powderchaser Steve put the hiking tech crew to the test out back in Kodiak Ak

“The Point 6 Hiking Tech is a midweight sock that is full of swank features that actually work, especially if you are tough on your feet and demand a mix of performance, durability and comfort.”

SNEWS - Why U.S.-made is hot in outdoor socks

The drive to be made in America is one of the reasons Steamboat Springs, Colo.-based Point6 (www.point6.com) is choosing to move its entire merino wool sock production from China to Tennessee by the end of 2011. Consumers are demanding it and so are retailers, Point6 marketing director Betsy Seabert told SNEWS at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2011, where the announcement was made. “We’ve actually had retailers pass on our product, even though they loved it, but they didn’t want to buy a product made in a foreign country. Now, we’ve had dealers say ‘OK, we’re ready to buy now.”
