Swiftwick releases Flite XT Trail Sock

  • Ron 

Swiftwick has launched their FLITE XT TRAIL line, which combines natural Merino wool and proprietary GripDry™
Fiber with stability technology to tackle the unique challenges of outdoor trail adventures. While designed for trail hikers and runners, the sock, available with 2 and 5 inch cuffs, will serve the needs of mountain bikers as well.

The FLITE XT TRAIL line offers a solution to the uneven terrain and variable conditions that come with adventures on the trail, from rocky obstacles to moisture build-up. Proprietary GripDry™ Fiber incorporated into the heel and forefoot of the sock uses micro treads to provide traction and grip inside your shoe, while AnkleLock™ Technology uses strong elastic around your ankles to provide support and stability on varying terrains. The sock’s soft Merino wool upper regulates temperature and odor to keep your feet comfortable, and Swiftwick’s signature hydrophobic Olefin fiber footbed maximizes the sock’s moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you dry and blister-free.

“After the release of our original FLITE XT® socks, designed with advanced stability technology, we heard growing feedback from our hike and trail running customers on their love for the line’s performance features,” said Joanna Mariani, Chief Marketing Officer of Swiftwick.

“Using that feedback, we set out to combine the FLITE XT’s signature stability features with the natural wonders of Merino wool to provide the best-performing outdoor sock on the market. FLITE XT TRAIL was inspired by our customers and ardently crafted by our team– we’re excited to see what adventures our customers take these socks on.”
