Vintage 1990s Patagonia Expedition Weight Hiking Socks – Gray

Sometimes the simplest pieces tell the best story.

These Patagonia Expedition Weight socks date to the 1990s, from the brand's early technical years, when layers were named plainly for what they were built to do.

Heavyweight gray knit, thick cushioning through the foot, heel and lower leg, reinforced contrasting heel and toe, and Patagonia branding knitted right into the foot.

Not a reproduction or a heritage-inspired remake. An original pair that has spent three decades doing exactly what it was made for.

Why We Chose It

At Sunrise Backcountry Resale, we're here to keep functional outdoor history in use.

These have been owned since the 1990s, which is unusually good provenance for a small piece of vintage Patagonia. More than thirty years later, the pair is still together and still remarkably intact.
