REGULATING TEMPERATURE – MAXIMISING PERFORMANCE

 

Using just one fibre when knitting socks is wasted potential. At Lorpen, they combine different fibres to maximize their warming or cooling properties. They lab test different combinations in order to find which ones offer the most benefits to athletes. Different climates require different fibers. While Merino wool is great for the winter, it’s too warm for the summer. Even sheep don’t wear wool in the summer. That’s why we use different technologies to keep your feet comfortable.
