LASTING STW986 socks Black and green, 38-41

STW is a wool ski sock fitted with a double-layer plush. Zones exposed to high stress such as the bottom, the toe and the Achilles‘ heel area are reinforced with a double-layer material, which forms an absorption layer protecting the user from corns and calluses. A fine seam in the toe and a light hem grip provide excellent comfort during skiing. These socks have a high resistance against wear and tear, in addition to having excellent thermal insulation properties. The section above the instep is fitted with a special zone encouraging forward tilt. Merino wool: - Merino wool fabric insulates extremely well. The fiber has a very curly structure, thanks to which millions of tiny air pockets are created, which take care of insulating body heat. Merino wool works according to body temperature in accordance with body thermoregulation. It regulates body temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture. This ensures that your body has the same temperature even when the intensity of movement changes. When it is cold and humid, merino fiber absorbs this moisture and creates so-called sorption heat. In a warm environment, merino wool regulates the temperature through the process of ´´evaporative cooling´´. This is the same as the one our body uses – it releases sweat to cool down.

Odor control: - Merino wool has a natural resistance to the growth of microbes and has the ability to repel odor. You can wear merino for many days without a trace of odor. The reason is the combination of wool´s extraordinary ability to absorb moisture and the heterogeneity of fibers with a very rugged surface. The odor is caused by bacteria that prefer an unprotected surface, flat walls, therefore bacteria thrive in synthetic fabrics but not in natural merino wool.
