Nuyarn® Merino Performance

Nuyarn® technology uses a different method of spinning merino wool to improve its natural performance without creating an unnecessarily heavy sock.

Compared with conventional merino, the fabric dries up to five times faster while providing increased warmth, stretch and strength. This makes the Ibex particularly useful when footwear becomes damp or conditions change throughout the day.

Cushioned Comfort Underfoot

The full-cushion Comfort Zone™ sole provides warmth and padding beneath the foot, helping absorb pressure when walking over hard or uneven ground.

This additional cushioning makes the socks suitable for extended hunting, hiking, farming and outdoor-working days.

Shin and Foot Protection

Cushioned pads provide additional protection across the shin, reducing pressure where high outdoor boots contact the lower leg.

The Paladin™ Protection Pad and nylon reinforcement improve durability in areas exposed to regular friction and wear.

Secure, Low-Bulk Fit

Elastic support is knitted throughout the sock to create a firm fit and help prevent slipping or bunching inside the boot.

A double-comfort top helps hold the sock in position, while the flex panel reduces bulk and allows more natural movement.

Made for Changing Conditions

Fast-drying Nuyarn® Merino helps manage the moisture created during active use while retaining the temperature-regulating qualities of merino wool.

SWAZI recommends the Ibex for all-weather use, making it a versatile choice for cold starts, wet ground and physically demanding outdoor activities.
