TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR FEET

Good technical socks require the best textile technology and the best fibers on the market. Lorpen is the only brand in the world producing socks with T3 technology, i.e., with three layers of different types of yarn.

LAYER TECHNOLOGY (T3+, T3, T2, and T1)

Technical socks require the best textile technology and the best fibers on the market. Lorpen is the only brand in the world producing socks with T3 technology. This exclusive technology with three layers of functionally differentiated yarns allows for peak performance from each type of yarn and provides athletes with maximum benefits. T3 technology is comprised of:

  • A hydrophobic yarn in contact with the skin to wick away sweat and keep skin dry.
  • A hydrophilic yarn on the exterior to absorb the sweat wicked away from the skin and spread it out so it dries faster.
  • A tough outer yarn (usually Nylon) to protect the areas of the foot exposed to friction based on the kind and level of activity

Many single-yarn socks (T1) are available on the market with varying degrees of quality. There are also many socks considered to be technical containing two layers (T2), with one yarn in contact with the skin combining different types of fibers offering limited performance and Nylon reinforcement in certain areas. Only Lorpen T3 technology allows for peak performance from each type of yarn and maximum benefits for athletes.

SLS (selective layering system) technology allows us to combine different numbers of layers in different areas of the same sock, as required by the activity. Lorpen’s SLS technology takes the brand and its socks to new heights in terms of fabric technology.
