Technology of thermal socks Lorpen TCXTM Men Light Hike
T3 is an exclusive technology with three different layers of yarn to maximise the performance of each yarn type and provide maximum benefit.
- The first layer is an outer layer made of Nylon, which prevents blisters, provides cushioning and maximum wear resistance.
- The second layer is the middle layer made of natural beech cellulose Tencel, which absorbs moisture well.
- The third layer is the inner layer made of Coolmax®, which is responsible for the effective removal of moisture from the skin surface.

Materials
Tencel ®
Tencel® is one of Lenzing AG's viscose fibre brands, but differs from conventional viscose fibres in that it is made from environmentally friendly wood, usually eucalyptus.
The fibre is characterised by good moisture wicking and breathability, which makes it comfortable to wear in different climatic conditions.
Tencel® fibres are naturally biodegradable, which reduces the environmental impact of this fabric at the end of the product's life.
Coolmax ®
A polyester fibre that, thanks to its special structure, effectively wicks moisture away from the skin surface and immediately evaporates it outside the fabric, thus protecting the body from overheating and leaving the skin dry, it holds its shape and is perfectly elastic.
Coolmax fibres are antibacterial and enriched with silver ions, which neutralise microorganisms and thus prevent unpleasant odours.
Nylon
Nylon, or polyamide, is the world's first synthetic fibre.
Its most prominent feature is its exceptional strength, abrasion and water resistance and, as a result, high durability, 10 times that of cotton and 20 times that of wool, and it is also stronger than polyester.
In the production of socks, nylon is usually blended with other materials to give strength and elasticity.
In Lorpen socks, a nylon layer is used for extreme loads, located over the entire area, and for moderate loads - in friction zones.
The strategic placement of nylon in the outer layer of the socks guarantees a long service life.
Modal
Semi-synthetic viscose fibre. Beech or eucalyptus wood is usually used as a source of cellulose for modal.
Technological processing makes it possible to produce a special grade of yarn with a bio-organic base obtained as a result of harmless chemical treatment, without the use of chlorine, which is typical for other chemical fibres.
This preserves the natural nutrients of the plants from which the yarn is produced.
The physical and chemical properties of the fibre are identical to natural materials (cotton, wool), rivaling silk in smoothness and lustre, and are as strong as viscose.
Lycra ®
It is very important for socks to be able to take the anatomical shape of the foot of any size, without the formation of folds that lead to chafing on the feet.
Lycra is the best elastane yarn on the market, the material of Lorpen socks contains up to 10% stretch nylon with lycra.
The elasticity of Lorpen socks is provided by stretch nylon, with an inner elastane layer and a nylon coating.
The percentage and quality of stretch nylon determines the high elasticity and durability of the new sock.
That is why Lorpen socks retain their fit even after prolonged use and numerous washes.
