NORTHMAN Svarog Merino
NORTHMAN Svarog Merino hiking socks are made for dewy trails, long climbs and cold hours beside the river. They combine 69% merino wool, cushioned heels and toes with ventilation panels and a mid-calf cut. According to NORTHMAN, their “Tested in Antarctica” designation follows a three-month expedition involving 17 polar explorers. At SAF you can choose from five colours and the sizes listed for each variant; every pack contains one pair. Allow enough room in your boots for the warming knit and for your toes to move freely.

An autumn walk through the woods and a slow morning on the bank both mean hours spent in boots. Svarog focus on a cushioned construction and a high merino content for comfort while walking and during breaks. A flat toe seam helps reduce distracting pressure at the front of the boot, a stretchy non-slip cuff helps hold the sock in place, and ventilation panels support breathability when the pace increases.
“Tested in Antarctica” comes with a specific expedition story. NORTHMAN reports that 17 polar explorers wore Svarog during three months in Antarctica. For your own trip, take the same care over materials, cushioning and how the sock fits inside your footwear. Dry, suitable boots and room for your feet remain essential parts of the setup.
Hiking boots and longer trails – cushioned heels and toes, a flat toe seam and ventilation panels for active days.
Cold days by the water – 69% merino wool helps manage thermal comfort; leave room for the knit and your toes.
Expedition experience – the manufacturer reports testing by 17 polar explorers over three months in Antarctica.
Clear pack sizes – dark green, beige, pink, blue or black; always one pair in the selected size.
The blend is 69% merino wool, 29% polyamide and 2% elastane. Wool helps regulate temperature and moisture, polyamide adds durability and elastane provides stretch. When alternating walking and standing, consider the weather and the breathability of your boots as well. A cushioned knit takes up space; tight footwear can undermine the comfort of a warming sock.
For other winter constructions, compare Arctic Track Merino and Perun Merino. For a shorter, more relaxed sock at the cabin, explore Arctic Home Merino; for cooler everyday wear, compare Narvik Merino. For days by the water, choose wellies with enough room for your feet.
After your trip, air the socks, spread them out and let them dry thoroughly. Follow the care symbols on the original label, using a detergent suitable for wool and avoiding fabric softener or bleach. Protect the knit from hook-and-loop fasteners and rough surfaces; see NORTHMAN's care advice for details.
Frequently asked questions – Svarog Merino
What does “Tested in Antarctica” mean?
NORTHMAN links this designation to a three-month expedition in which 17 polar explorers tested Svarog socks. See the manufacturer's Svarog product information for details.
How much merino wool do they contain?
The current blend is 69% merino wool, 29% polyamide and 2% elastane.
Are Svarog suitable for winter fishing?
Merino and cushioning are useful on cold days by the water. Comfort also depends on your boots, time outdoors and activity level; pay attention to the insulation of the whole boot when standing for long periods.
What do the cushioning and ventilation panels do?
Cushioning adds comfort at the heel and toe. Ventilation panels support breathability while walking; correct sock and boot sizing remain important.
How tall are Svarog socks?
They reach mid-calf. Compare the height of your boot shaft with the height of the sock when choosing taller footwear.
How many pairs are in a pack?
This SAF category offers individual pairs. One ordered item means one pair in the same colour and selected size.
How do I choose a size and wash the socks?
Follow the range shown for each variant. The heel should sit correctly, toes need room and the knit should not bunch up. Follow the original care label and use a gentle washing method suitable for wool.
