3T+ TEPA Trekking Expedition Overcalf Lorpen

3T+ TEPA TREKKING EXPEDITION OVERCALF LORPEN

Designed for extended cold weather activities in extreme environments. This is the cutting edge of warmth technology.

Based on feedback Lorpen received from professional  muntaineers and cold-weather athletes we learned that most wool socks on the market were too constrictive and maintained moisture during their activities. This can be dangerous in parts of the world where a wet foot can lead to hypothermia or other serious conditions. The Lorpen design team wanted to solve this problem by creating a sock that would be incredible warm and dry. They searched the globe to find materials and a construction process that provide the perfect combination of elasticity, support, and warmth.

Two Layers of Polartec® Power Stretch on the outer layer of the sock provide warmth without increasing weight. The smooth outer layer is wind- and abrasion-resistant; the soft inner layer pulls moisture away from your skin keeping you dry, warm and comfortable.

 A layer Polartec® Power Dry® keeps your skin dry when you sweat. Features a patented bi-component knit construction that uses different yarns on either side of the fabric. This creates two different surfaces: one that is optimized to move moisture away from the skin, the other to dry quickly.

TECHNOLOGIES:

Polartec® Power Dry®

Polartec® Power Dry® was created to give base fabrics greater efficiency, more dependable wicking properties, faster dry times and better overall performance. Not all base fabrics are created equal, and many can only provide temporary wicking chemistry that fades and weakens with every wash. By designing mechanical wicking fabric with the patented bi-component construction Lorpen invented a superior base material that pulls moisture from the skin, expands for faster evaporation and lasts the life of the fabric.

Polartec® Power Stretch®

Polartec® Power Stretch® was developed to expand the base fabric's durability and range of motion. The majority of elastic base materials can stretch during movement, but lack the tensile strength to recover their original shape and become permanently damaged. By utilizing elastic fibers with enhanced resilience in the stretch construction Lorpen mades a performance-fit base fabric that can handle the pressure of demanding physical activities.
