Shipping
Currently, Hunting & Fishing New Zealand will only ship to addresses within New Zealand, including outer islands. We do not ship internationally, however our Taranaki store sometimes ships overseas. They can be reached via taranaki.store@huntingandfishing.co.nz or by phone on:06 757 2255. For the majority of orders, we have a $7.50 flat rate shipping fee, $10.00 for rural addresses. For bulky items, additional fees may apply. As some courier companies do not ship to PO Boxes we recommend you provide either a residential or commercial shipping address when placing online orders. Should we be unable to ship to a PO Box we will contact you for an alternative address. -
Dispatch
In most circumstances, your order will be dispatched from the store closest to the delivery address you supply us. This means we can keep freight to a minimum and send items up to about 25kgs. Most courier companies charge based on weight or size, generally what is bigger. If we have to send your order from another store, we’ll pay any additional freight cost. If you’re ordering more than 1 item and the combined weight (or size equivalent) is more than 25kgs we reserve the right to charge additional freight. From time to time we might offer freight specials or even free freight. These offers will also be based on 25kgs. -
Damaged or Non-Delivered Articles
If your article is damaged upon arrival please notify us at ask@huntingandfishing.co.nz or by phone on 0800 486 834. If your order has not arrived within 10 days of the dispatch date please notify us immediately on ask@huntingandfishing.co.nz. There is only a small window of opportunity for us to be able to claim for missing parcels with courier companies. Failure to notify us in the above time frames may result in no refund.
Product Details
The Peaks are made in New Zealand from the proven Herculan® fibre (strong wool). Herculan® is a world-first technology which has enabled us to create something that has not been possible until now. This blend provides a solid balance of durability, comfort, warmth, and movement.
The Peak's design is shaped to the contours of your lower leg, ankle, and foot. This means the sock locks in place with minimal bunching and movement, resulting in maximum comfort and greatly reduced room for blistering. The foot-mapped design places padding in the high-contact areas and thinner weaves in between for contour and breathability.
You simply shouldn't put cheap tube socks on one of the most important parts of your body in the mountains. High-quality socks make a world of difference on hard-working feet, and the Peak are solid performers.
- Composition: 47% Nylon, 31% Merino Wool, 14% Herculan, 8% Elastane.
The Herculan® wool is spun using Nuyarn® technology, transforming 20-year lifespan strong wool into yarn fine enough to wear, for the first time.
This incredible, twist-free yarn has unprecedented benefits: durability, comfort, excellent moisture management, quicker drying times, more aeration, greater thermal retention and odour-resistance.
It is perfectly engineered for high-impact zones.
The strength of the fibre means Herculan® wool smashes the Martindale Abrasion test - the number of rubs it can withstand in the heel and toe of the sock (1,066,667 rubs, that's 630% more than polyprop fleece).
Its high aeration creates excellent moisture management, which in turn reduces the chance of blisters during a long hunt by creating less friction.
Its exceptional abrasion resistance means the Peaks have more natural wool and less synthetic content, so the benefits of natural wool can be maintained: odour reduction, with less noise and less reflection for greater concealment.
This amazing wool repurposes strong wool, which is a by-product of the sheep and carpet industry, giving this resource another life.
*Benefit claims based on independent tests carried out by AgResearch New Zealand and Intertek® Vietnam, when comparing generic Nuyarn® Merino fabric to conventional ring-spun Merino fabric.
The construction of the sock is designed to perfectly hug the contours of your foot, ankle and calf with strategically placed padding to carry you the distance without movement or bunching.
The Peaks have reinforced heels and toes for extra durability, and left & right construction for an anatomical fit.
A cushioned pad protects metatarsals, while a mesh panel eases lace pressure, improving blood flow—perfect for staying comfortable and warm when cold conditions hit.
ESS™ ensures a customised fit with no bunching or riding down of the sock.
Comfort Zone™ cushioning is strategically placed for optimum protection in high-pressure areas.
