Technology of thermal socks Lorpen TCXS Light Hiker Shorty
T3 is an exclusive technology with three different layers of yarn to maximise the performance of each yarn type and ensure maximum efficiency.
- The first layer, the outer layer, made of Nylon and Lycra, provides strength, durability and a perfect fit to the foot, keeping the socks in place.
- The second layer, the middle layer, is made up of Tencel, which is breathable and wicks moisture away from the body.
- The third layer, the inner layer, made of Coolmax, wicks moisture away from the feet to keep them dry.

Materials
Tencel ®
Tencel® is one of Lenzing AG's viscose fibre brands, which 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 keeps its shape and is elastic.
Coolmax fibres are antibacterial and enriched with silver ions, which neutralise microorganisms and thus prevent the formation of 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 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.
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.
