CIWE Liner Merino Eco Socks

T2 technology for technical socks with two differentiated layers of yarn, blending different types of fibres to offer limited performance for athletes.

Red-Cycled Nylon yarn is made entirely from fishing nets whose useful life in the fishing industry has come to an end. In this way, instead of becoming a danger at the bottom of the sea, they are recycled to give life to a new nylon yarn. This continuous fibre yarn is hard-wearing and provides good cushioning. It withstands wear and tear better than any other fibre on the market.

Merino Wool: Due to the long length and short diameter of the fibre, Merino sheep's wool creates a softer yarn with a finer loop that is softer to the touch than wool from other species of sheep. The fibre's core is hydrophilic (water retaining) and breathable. Since it retains heat even when damp, it is the fibre used in the middle layer of Lorpen' T3 socks and the main fibre in their T2 socks for use in colder temperatures.

Stretch Nylon with LYCRA® adds durability and ensure these socks stay up in your shoes without slipping down to your toes. On the one hand, NYLON is a synthetic continuous fibre that is characterised by its resistance and capacity to cushion. On the other hand, LYCRA® is a synthetic elastane fibre that can stretch up to six times its length and return to its original state. Its strategic placement in the outer layer of Lorpen socks guarantees a long life for Lorpen socks. Along with Nylon, LYCRA® is characterised by its strength and cushioning capacity.
