Socks for Summer<br />

Stay cool and stable in your boots<br />

for mile after mile this <strong>summer</strong>.<br />

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 />
