Merrell · Waterproof Hiking Socks
Merrell Moab Hiker Low Cut Sock
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.
