Smart Wool designed this Merino wool Hike sock to celebrate their advocacy partner, The Venture Out Project, and help you trek farther all season. TVOP leads wilderness and outdoor adventure trips for LGBTQ+ folks of all ages. In addition to their trips, TVOP leads workshops and provides education for allies and LGBTQ+ folks alike so that we can all feel welcome and safe in the outdoors. With this sock, They want to amplify their message to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community knows that Smartwool stands by them in the outdoors. They believe nature is a place to express yourself with those who love you for your most authentic self. And they love partnering with people that help them advance towards a more diverse and inclusive outdoors.

​Pride is more than a month. Smartwool is donating $100,000 to support LGBTQ+ programs year-round, so that everyone has a sense of belonging outside.
