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.

Horizon is the name behind the socks of many of Britain’s best known walking, skiing and leisure brands and they bring to the production of these ranges the experience gathered from focusing on the production of socks to the exclusion of all else.
