Technology of thermal socks Lorpen TCTN Trekking Thermolite
T2 is a technology for technical socks with two differentiated yarn layers with different fibre types to provide optimal performance for athletes, allowing for a combination of reinforcement and ventilation zones in different areas of the same sock.
The inner layer of Thermolite fibres retains body heat like a thermos and wicks away moisture efficiently.
The outer layer of Nylon prevents blisters and provides maximum wear resistance.

Materials

Thermolite®.
A very lightweight fibre, hollow in the centre, developed by Invista Advansa, its main property is to retain body heat like a thermos and to remove moisture from the skin surface to the outside thanks to its water-repellent properties.
In the event of overheating during strenuous physical activity (with active sweating), Thermolite®, thanks to its structure, helps moisture to leave the skin surface instantly and evaporate from the surface. In this way, Thermolite® reacts quickly to overheating or hypothermia. In other words, it is a kind of "temperature controller".

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.
