New mountain bike gear
Pearly’s Possum Socks
You’re probably familiar with the benefits of merino wool, but what about possum?

Yes, those ill-tempered nocturnal marsupials that you often see skittering across the trail during a night ride. It turns out their fur is soft and quite warm, especially when combined with merino wool. While sheep are sheered, these possums meet a less benign fate.
Now for a brief history lesson…
Early settlers introduced the Brushtail Possum to New Zealand from Australia. Then as now, it was prized for its fur. Unfortunately, with no natural predators to keep the population in check, this bushy little critter reproduced at a staggering rate and wreaked havoc on New Zealand’s fragile ecosystem.
