Outdoor Sock & Apparel Size Guide
Use the charts below to find the right fit for socks, tops, bottoms, headwear and gloves. Measurements are shown in both inches and centimetres. Tip: if you fall between two sizes, most merino wool apparel is designed to layer — choose the larger size for a relaxed fit and the smaller size for a performance fit.
1. Sock Size (Unisex)
Sizing is based on U.S. shoe size and EU equivalent.
| Size | U.S. Men's | U.S. Women's | EU | UK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 3 – 5.5 | 4 – 6.5 | 34 – 38 | 2 – 4.5 |
| M | 6 – 8.5 | 7 – 9.5 | 39 – 42 | 5.5 – 8 |
| L | 9 – 11.5 | 10 – 12.5 | 43 – 46 | 9 – 11.5 |
| XL | 12 – 14.5 | — | 47 – 50 | 12.5 – 14 |
Sock sizing is based on foot length. If you wear a half size, size up for a more relaxed fit or down for a snug performance fit.

How to Measure
Three quick steps for an accurate fit.
1. Use a Soft Tape
Use a flexible fabric tape measure. Keep it level and snug against the body, without pulling tight.
2. Measure Over Light Layers
For body measurements, wear light clothing. Measure chest or bust at the fullest part, waist at the natural waistline.
3. Pick by Fit Preference
Between two sizes? Choose the larger size for a relaxed fit and the smaller size for a close-to-skin, performance fit.
