Wool BEAST Heavy OTC Sock

HOT-WEATHER PERFORMANCE SOCK

Over-the-Calf Protection for Extreme Cold and Field Duty Ideal for Late-Season Hunts, Winter Patrols, and Cold-Weather Operations When temperatures drop and missions stretch into the night, you need gear that won’t quit. The Wool Beast Heavy OTC Sock is built for endurance in the harshest cold—delivering warmth, durability, and all-day comfort no matter the terrain or temperature. Made with premium U.S. Merino wool, this high-volume sock naturally wicks moisture, resists odor, and helps prevent blisters, keeping your feet dry, warm, and mission-ready. Dense wool cushioning in high-impact zones absorbs shock and provides relief during long rucks, while compression support keeps the sock secure and stable over the calf. Reinforced with durable synthetic fibers for longevity and a flex-zone instep that prevents bunching, the Wool Beast Heavy OTC is your go-to cold-weather essential for extended field duty.

About Us

Russ MeadeI deployed with II MEF, Feb. '05 to Fallujah, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

My good friend, Peter Menzies, has been in the sock business for over 60 yrs. Before deploying, Peter gave me 8 pairs of socks.

Although the socks felt great, the extreme heat and other elements resulted in foot problems such as blisters and hot spots. I emailed Peter with these problems and asked him if it was possible to develop a better sock for a specific climate.

Within a month Peter had shipped me a new sock called the "Sand" boot sock. This sock was awesome! It worked so well that I emailed him back and asked if I could get more to hand out to other Marines. The result was Marines ordering more of these socks directly from Peter.

Upon returning from Iraq, Peter and I created a company called "Covert Threads." Our mission was to develop a line of socks along with other improved garments for the Marine, or anyone looking for comfortable yet rugged socks that stand up to the rigors of harsh climates and conditions.

"A Sock for every clime and every place!"

We are even taking this to the next level and making improved products to outfit the USA's Finest. Keep in touch for continual updates.

★★★★★
“I LOVE that this sock is palpably thicker with a thick “loop” style inside, and it is NOTICEABLY warmer!! I was pleasantly surprised to find that the length of the calf actually comes all the way up to just below my kneecap. I have Reynaud’s & my feet & hands are easily cold, turn purple & hurt; these socks help more than any I have ever had. I still like to camp & hike. They have been great!! I would have bought more, but they were already sold out. I am awaiting notification of a restock.”
