Technology of thermal socks Lorpen H2HO T2 Hunting Extreme Overcalf
T2 is a double weave with two differentiated yarn layers that combines different types of fibres to keep your feet comfortable during prolonged periods of immobility or sedentary use, and prevents chafing while walking.
The inner layer of a combination of Merino wool and Thermocool™ provides faster drying and moisture wicking than wool alone, while maintaining a comfortable feel against the skin.
Thermocool™ works with the body's natural thermal capabilities to help regulate body temperature.
The Nylon outer layer increases durability.

Materials
Merino Wool
Merino wool is considered one of the most expensive types of wool.
It is thinner than the wool of other sheep breeds - for the manufacture of yarn, merino wool is sheared only from the withers, it is in the withers that sheep have special fine fleece with a thickness of less than 23 microns.
It has a unique degree of softness and elasticity, as it is 3 times softer than natural silk and 5 times more elastic than cotton.
Soft, airy, warm, and of extraordinary beauty, it has no equal in the world of natural materials.
Merino wool is perhaps the only natural material that still cannot be reproduced using synthetic materials.
Properties of merino wool:
- High medicinal properties - wool softens and soothes acute pain, treats arthritis, rheumatism, sciatica, helps with fractures, in the care of patients with bedsores, and also promotes rapid recovery from viral infections that occur in the autumn and winter.
- Antibacterial properties - creatine contained in merino wool is an unfavourable environment for the development of bacteria and microscopic insects, in addition, a water repellent is formed on the surface of each fibre, which repels insect pests.
- Hypoallergenic - merino wool is not an allergen and contains 8-10% lanolin, which, dissolving at a temperature of 35-37 °C, penetrates the skin and has a beneficial effect on joints, muscles, spine and respiratory system, as well as stimulates blood circulation.
- Excellent calming effect - products made of soft merino wool lull you to sleep better than any sleeping pill.
- Excellent thermal insulation - of all types of sheep's wool, merino wool has the finest hair, which is why merino wool is considered to be the warmest.
- Excellent moisture absorption - merino wool is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb up to 33% of its own weight in moisture, so any products made from merino wool always remain dry.
- Reliable protection against unpleasant odours.
- Unique self-cleaning effect; from time to time, merino products just need to be aired in wet weather.
- Electrostatic properties.
- Neutralisation of toxic substances.
Thermocool™
A modern lightweight synthetic material developed by Invista, which is used for effective thermal underwear and sportswear.
The "intelligent" Duoregulation fibre cross-section allows the material to perfectly interact with the human microclimate and regulate temperature.
Due to the different diameters of the fibre cross-section, Thermocool is able to effectively evaporate excess moisture, while providing improved air circulation in the heat and insulating the skin from temperature changes in the cold.
These properties of the material help to prevent unwanted cooling of the body after intense training in the cold season.
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 ball is used for extreme loads, located throughout the entire area, and for moderate loads - in the training zones.
The strategic placement of nylon in the outer layer of the socks guarantees a long service life.
Ea.Lycra
Known as elastane in Europe and spandex in the US and Canada, this highly elastic synthetic fibre developed by DuPont is a segmented polyurethane that looks like a bundle of tiny threads under a microscope.
Lycra is always used in combination with other fibres - natural or artificial.
A.F. (Altre fibre, Other fibres, and AF) stands for "other fibres", i.e. additional fibres added to the main fibres with a percentage of less than 5%.
