Men's thermal socks are socks with specially defined properties. They are achieved through the use of special synthetic fibers or special weaving of threads, which creates several layers of fabric with different breathability between them. As is clear from the name of the product, men's thermal socks are designed to maintain heat and quickly remove moisture quickly. As a rule, they contain fibers that make the fabric more durable and adjacent.
Structure
It would be a mistake to assume that men's thermal socks are sewn exclusively from synthetic materials. When sewing, both cotton and wool can be used. The percentage of synthetic and natural constituents determines the group of consumers. So, completely unnatural socks belong to the “extreme” group and are highly appreciated by adherents of the respective sports. 80 percent of the synthetic fibers in the composition are ideal for skiing, 70 for trekking, and 50 for all other sports. Socks sewn more than half from natural fabrics are designed for everyday use.
Types of fibers
The most popular among athletes are men's thermal socks, when sewing which used Thermolite fabric. It consists of a special hollow fiber, which acts on the principle of a thermos: it retains heat and instantly evaporates sweat due to its ability to absorb moisture. The benefits of Thermolite can be listed for a very long time: it is an excellent insulator, it weighs little, dries quickly, does not sit down after washing and retains its shape. By the way, you can wash such socks in a typewriter.
Outlast
This material makes not only excellent winter thermal socks, but also no less high-quality jackets, trousers, underwear, gloves, hats and even sleeping bags. Its secret lies in the numerous micromodules that are embedded in the tissues and give them thermostatic properties. Outlast differs from its analogues in that it is able to absorb and store a huge amount of heat, “redirecting” it to the skin of the owner.
Primaloft
His technology was developed by special order of the US Army: the military needed a decent alternative to fluff, which filled clothes and sleeping bags. So Primaloft was created - the same light, warm soft, but at the same time water-repellent and hypoallergenic. By the way, the famous Norveg thermal socks are sewn from it. Microfibre tissue in structure completely coincides with goose down. After washing and drying, the volume is retained. Perhaps today this material is one of the best in its field.
Summer models
By the way, thermal socks are not only winter: there are fibers of a special design, designed specifically for hot weather. Such products retain a feeling of coolness, do not stick to the legs, quickly absorb moisture released by the body and relieve the owner of an unpleasant odor. They are often bought for wearing in the gym - with all the activities associated with high physical exertion, they are indispensable.
