KNITTED FOR YOUR FEET AND OUR PLANET
Durability , comfort , and function are just part of the picture when it comes to materials selection . Materials produced with special emphasis on ethical and environmental values are as important .
MERINO WOOL . The fine , silky texture and unique structure of the wool enables exceptionally high thermal insulation . This wool warms when it ’ s cold and breathes when it ’ s hot – thus enabling a constant body temperature . It has good moisture-wicking capabilities , which facilitate a dry , comfortable feeling next to the skin . Unlike other materials , merino wool warms even when damp . Creatine in the wool makes it naturally antibacterial and frees wearers from unpleasant odor in their socks .
WOOL Wool treated via EXP 4.0 contains fewer chemicals ( e . g ., chlorine ) and uses up to 50 % less water than older treatments – to make wool that withstands machine washing and drying . EXP 4.0 is the first wool treatment that meets these rigorous standards : Bluesign ® , Global Organic Textile , and Oeko-Tex .
RECO NYLON yarn is one of the most ecofriendly alternatives to classic yarn . Reco nylon yarn consists of 100 % recycled polyamide , made from waste from the textile industry . Reco Nylon manufacturing reduces use of resources , such as water , chemicals , and electricity by an average of 89 % compared to manufacturing ordinary polyamide . Extremely durable socks made using Reco Nylon provide a high level of comfort .
