Merrell Moab Hiker Low Cut Sock

Good

Lower PFAS risk; standard sock with no waterproofing claims.

Merino wool and synthetic blend without advertised water or stain resistance. No PFAS claims from Merrell, and the absence of Teflon-family coating coatings suggests lower risk than heavily treated hiking socks.
