Moisture transport
Merinowool can absorb and storemoisture.When
combinedwith polyamide fibers, thiswool can even
storemoisture temporarily if required.
Polyamide fibers quicklywickmoisture away from
the body and ensure that thewool dries rapidly.
Skin remains comfortable and dry even on long
excursions.
Durabilityandcomfort
The comfortablewearing characteristics ofmerino
wool are combinedwith the extreme durability of
polyamide fibers, resulting in robust, extremely
rugged outdoor products that also feel great on the
skin. The natural odor-reducing properties of the
merinowool are further enhanced by an antimicrobial
design.
Thermal properties
As an active fiber,merinowool can respond to
changes in body temperature. It provides insulation
to retainwarmth in cold temperatures.When
temperatures rise, it releases heat andmoisture.
This cooling effect is enhanced by the polyamide
fibers, which provide a large surface area so that
moisture can evaporate. The advantage is a pleasant
temperature nomatterwhat outdoor conditions the
socks areworn in.
Blendofnaturalandsynthetic fibers
The finestmerinowool and high-quality polyamide
fibers are tightly intertwined in an intricate
manufacturing process. This combines the
positive aspects of each of these yarns, bringing
together the best of bothworlds.Optimum body
temperature, uniquemoisturemanagement and
enhanced durability are the
key characteristics of this blend of fibers.
Perfect for use in outdoor sports.
