THE MASTERCLASS<br />
LORPEN<br />
T3 MIDWEIGHT HIKER<br />
Even the ‘perfect’ boot or shoe will only do its best work if<br />
it’s working in tandem with the perfect sock. In <strong>summer</strong> your<br />
socks have a host of important jobs to do: keeping your foot<br />
stable and secure inside the boot; keeping<br />
its shape so it doesn’t scrunch down<br />
as you cover those long, lovely<br />
miles; preventing those<br />
annoying rubs that can<br />
turn into blisters – and<br />
carefully managing the<br />
heat and moisture that<br />
come with a warm day’s<br />
walking. So a good sock isn’t a<br />
luxury – it’s an essential. And<br />
here’s a sock which gets that<br />
blend spot-on.<br />
SUSTAINABILITY<br />
Lorpen is committed to<br />
preserving the<br />
environment in every<br />
aspect of business.<br />
Wherever possible, the<br />
brand uses fibres created<br />
from sustainable and<br />
manageable resources.<br />
They also develop<br />
manufacturing processes<br />
that are sensitive to the<br />
environment and reduce<br />
the amount of<br />
post-production waste at<br />
all levels.<br />
PROUD<br />
HERITAGE<br />
Lorpen Socks are<br />
engineered in the<br />
Pyrenees where the<br />
brand has been making<br />
great socks for outdoor<br />
enthusiasts for over<br />
30 years.<br />
THE PERFECT<br />
BLEND<br />
Ideally a walking sock<br />
needs to be a blend of<br />
toughness, breathability<br />
and stretch, and the<br />
secret is in the blend of<br />
fabrics. Here’s the mix that<br />
makes the T3 Midweight<br />
Hiker so dynamic…<br />
• 20% PrimaLoft<br />
• 35% merino wool<br />
• 35% nylon<br />
• 10% stretch nylon<br />
with Lycra<br />
ADAPTABILITY<br />
The T3 Midweight Hiker<br />
has a great balance<br />
between insulation<br />
and breathability,<br />
making it a good<br />
companion on<br />
long walks<br />
throughout<br />
the year.<br />

TOP TECHNOLOGY<br />
Lorpen’s T3 technology combines three<br />
layers of different yarns to create a sock<br />
which maximises warming and cooling<br />
properties. The three layers work together to<br />
wick moisture away from the feet, help it to<br />
disperse and protect the feet from abrasion.<br />
STRONG WHERE IT COUNTS<br />
With reinforcement in the sole and<br />
cushioning across the foot, the T3<br />
Midweight Hiker provides added comfort,<br />
so you don’t have to worry about your feet,<br />
even on the longest of walks.<br />
This way for more<br />
great sock options…<br />
