Technology of thermal socks Lorpen T3LM17 T3 Light Hiker
Т3 is an exclusive technology with three different yarn balls that maximises the performance of the skin type yarn and provides maximum benefit to athletes.
- The first layer, the outer layer, is made of nylon, which is characterised by its strength and ability to provide cushioning, and resists wear and tear better than any other fibre on the market.
- The second layer, the middle layer, is made up of natural Tencel cellulose from eucalyptus wood, which absorbs and stores moisture for faster evaporation.
- The third layer, the inner layer, made of Coolmax fibre, keeps the foot dry by wicking moisture away to the upper layers.

- flat toe seam does not rub toes
- wide elastic band ensures proper fit without excessive compression

Materials
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.
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.
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.
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.
That is why Lorpen socks retain their snugness even after prolonged use and numerous washings.
