Adventurer of the Year takes up sock design

18/07/2018
Outdoor sock brand Farm to Feet is including a product designed in collaboration with Jennifer Pharr Davis in its spring 2019 collection, which it will have on display at Outdoor Retailer in Denver (July 23-26).

In 2011, Jennifer Pharr Davis achieved the fastest known time for completing the Appalachian Trail and was named as National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year. She now runs a guiding service, Blue Ridge Hiking Company, in Asheville, North Carolina.

She worked with Farm to Feet to design the Blue Ridge hiking sock, a lightweight three-quarter crew sock, knit on 200-needle machines with 19.5 micron US merino wool. It features Farm to Feet’s 3D-Active Knit technology, which creates complex multi-dimensional patterns and provide high levels of ventilation and cushioning while minimising bulk and weight.
