What are these full hose made from?

These full hose are made from wool. The wool is described as somewhat "rough-spun" or "coarse" but neatly knitted. Some pairs contain a blend of nylon, which helps to reduce shrinkage. The material is thick but relatively lightweight.

How should these full hose be cared for?

Hand washing with soap and cold water, with a bit of softener or cider vinegar, helps to keep them soft and fitting. They can be hung on the line to dry to prevent shrinkage. One wash on 60°C can shrink them a bit and reduce scratchiness.

Do these full hose have any particular smell?

Some pairs of full hose arrive with a very strong chemical smell, similar to new plastic. This smell requires a thorough washing and multiple rinses to remove. A second washing may be necessary.

Are these full hose comfortable to wear?

The full hose are described as surprisingly comfortable and super comfortable for hiking. While initially they can be scratchy, one wash can almost completely remove the scratching. They provide a perfect insulating layer when worn with boots.
