FLITE XT TRAIL utilizes Swiftwick’s proprietary fiber and stability technology to create the top-performing trail sock
Swiftwick is thrilled to announce the launch of their FLITE XT® TRAIL line, which combines natural Merino wool and proprietary GripDry™ Fiber with stability technology to tackle the unique challenges of outdoor trail adventures. As the leader in sock innovation and thoughtful design, Swiftwick set out to create this high-performance, comfortable adventure sock to meet the needs of today’s explorers and stand up to the brand’s ‘best sock you will ever wear’ guarantee.
The FLITE XT TRAIL line offers a solution to the uneven terrain and variable conditions that come with adventures on the trail, from rocky obstacles to moisture build-up. Proprietary GripDry™ Fiber incorporated into the heel and forefoot of the sock uses micro treads to provide traction and grip inside your shoe, while AnkleLock™ Technology uses strong elastic around your ankles to provide support and stability on varying terrains. The sock’s soft Merino wool upper regulates temperature and odor to keep your feet comfortable, and Swiftwick’s signature hydrophobic Olefin fiber footbed maximizes the sock’s moisture-wicking capabilities to keep you dry and blister-free.

“After the release of our original FLITE XT® socks, designed with advanced stability technology, we heard growing feedback from our hike and trail running customers on their love for the line’s performance features,” said Joanna Mariani, Chief Marketing Officer of Swiftwick.
“Using that feedback, we set out to combine the FLITE XT’s signature stability features with the natural wonders of Merino wool to provide the best-performing outdoor sock on the market. FLITE XT TRAIL was inspired by our customers and ardently crafted by our team– we’re excited to see what adventures our customers take these socks on.”

First impressions => The FLITE XT TRAIL have the same excellent fit and feel and durability that I have always loved about Swiftwick’s socks. The addition of Merino wool creates insulating micro pockets that provide thermoregulation in cool and warm conditions to maintain a comfortable micro-climate against your feet. The AnkleLock technology supports and holds the socks in place around your ankle, offering more control and comfort. The GripDry fiber in the heel and forefoot provide cushioning and act like little traction teeth, helping provide grip and stability inside the shoe. All of those features make the FLITE XT TRAIL shoe uber comfortable and work great on rough and undulating terrain!
