OUR TECHNOLOGY
Our silver socks, are lined with silver threads made from pure silver. The same antimicrobial technologies used by astronauts and medical professionals to prevent bacteria build up and growth is in Silverlight socks. With our antimicrobial socks we’re creating a bacteria-free zone around your feet for blister-free hiking bliss without the bad smell.
How It Works
Antimicrobial Action
Silver ions naturally break down bacteria at the cellular level, preventing odor before it starts. That means no smell, no buildup, no compromise.
How It’s Made
Silver Yarn Technology
We use a layer of pure silver permanently bonded to a nylon core. It's woven directly into the sock, not sprayed on or coated.
Why It’s Better
Permanent, Safe and Effective
Unlike coatings or silver-ion sprays that wash out over time, our silver yarns never fade and last for the full life of the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do our socks contain more than 1g of real silver?
We weave real silver into our socks to help tackle odor at its source: the bacteria that thrive in warm, sweaty footwear. Working alongside our merino blend, targeted cushioning and secure fit, silver helps keep your socks fresher through long hikes, workouts and busy travel days.
- Odor control at the source: Silver helps inhibit the bacteria responsible for unpleasant sock odors.
- Freshness between washes: Built-in odor control is especially useful on multi-day adventures and trips when laundry is limited.
- Silver built into the yarn: Pure silver is permanently bonded to the yarn for lasting odor control through repeated wear and washing.
- Part of a complete comfort system: Silver helps control bacterial buildup, while cushioning and compression help reduce the rubbing and slipping that can cause hot spots.
Where are they made?
There are very few factories in the world who are able to work with silver yarns and can produce dual-layer socks with compression at the same time. It requires state of the art machinery, that's just been available in the last few years as well as knowledge how to blend silver yarns into the socks, a delicate process.
We have been testing factories throughout the world and we found only one that was able to produce Silverlight socks in the quality we require, a small specialized factory in China. Out of 15 factories, 8 of them in China, we were left only with one who is able to produce the socks that so many of our customers fell in love with.
Why are Silverlight socks slightly more expensive than other hiking sock brands?
Real silver yarn costs more to produce, but we believe its lasting odor-control benefits are worth it. Combined with our merino blend, targeted cushioning and secure fit, it is part of what makes Silverlight socks built for better miles.
By selling directly to you, we can offer better value when you stock up. This crew-sock offer includes Buy 2 Get 2 Free and Buy 3 Get 3 Free packs, so you pay less per pair. Free US shipping is available on orders over $79.
What makes them different from the brand I'm wearing now?
Our socks are the only dual-layer compression hiking socks with silver yarns on the market. Compared to most hiking socks available, this is how Silverlight socks are different:
- They dry faster, thanks to the dual-layer blend of merino wool and nylon/spandex
- They don't smell. Merino wool is naturally anti-bacterial, however it doesn't actively kill bacteria like silver does.
- They fit snug and never move, because of the outer compression layer.
- Silverlight socks are designed to prevent blisters better than any other sock.
How to recognize which sock is for left and which is for right?
Silverlight socks have an anatomical design shaped specifically for your left and right foot. To tell them apart, look for “Venture” inside the front of the ribbed cuff on the left sock and “Out” on the right sock. You’ll also find a small “L” or “R” near the toe area for easy identification.
