Thermal socks Lorpen STM Trilayer Ski Medium

Lorpen STM Trilayer Ski Medium is a three-layer high sock (golf) of medium thickness designed for high loads when skiing in cold weather conditions.
The model is designed for active skiing and snowboarding.
Two-layer polyamide zones in the forefoot area increase wear resistance and protection in areas of increased friction between the sock and ski boot.
The TriLayer socks are made from a combination of natural wool and high-tech synthetic fibres.
Thanks to the use of Primaloft polyester yarn, the socks have increased wear resistance compared to all-wool socks.
The STM Trilayer Ski Medium has a full range of modern innovations, is very comfortable and has a long service life.
Warm, soft and comfortable, they are suitable for wearing with high boots.
Optimal use: downhill skiing, snowboarding, outdoor physical activity at low temperatures.

Technology of thermal socks Lorpen STM Trilayer Ski Medium
T3 TriLayer® is a technology for technical socks with three differentiated yarn layers with different fibre types for optimum performance.
The inner layer of hydrophobic Primaloft polyester quickly wicks moisture away from the foot surface.
The middle layer of high-quality New Merino Wool retains heat well, reduces muscle fatigue, allowing you to withstand increased loads and absorbs moisture well.
The outer layer of nylon and lycra protects the feet from blisters and abrasions, prevents slipping in shoes and increases wear resistance.

Materials
PrimaLof ® ECO
PrimaLof ® is a polyester yarn developed by PrimaLoft, a world leader in the creation of artificial thermal insulation materials for high-tech clothing.
It consists of the finest hollow fibres with a structure similar to that of down, is lightweight, soft and compressible, and has thermal insulation parameters similar to down, which hardly change when wet.
PrimaLoft ® ECO is a blend of 30% Primaloft® fibre and 70% recycled polyester from plastic bottles.
It is a soft, thermally insulating, hydrophobic fibre that repels rather than absorbs moisture and is therefore Lorpen's ideal choice for the inner layer of socks with a Trilayer® construction for low temperatures.
Primaloft Yarn
Primaloft Yarn fibres are made from a combination of high quality New Merino Wool and Primaloft yarns, and are highly wicking and moisture wicking.
Synthetic Primalof fibres will quickly wick moisture away during active movement, while wool keeps you warm when you are not moving.
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.
- Нейтралізація отруйних речовин.
Nylon
Nylon, or polyamide, is the world's first synthetic fibre.
Its most outstanding feature is its exceptional strength, resistance to abrasion and water 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 add strength and elasticity.
Lycra ®
It is very important for socks to be able to take the anatomical shape of any foot size, without forming 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.
