Fibers

Ingeo™

Ingeo™ fiber is the first man-made fiber derived from 100% natural, annually renewable resources like corn. It has low odor retention, offering the wearer optimum comfort, confidence and freshness. It is soft to the hand and feels natural against the skin. Ingeo’s excellent wicking properties transport moisture away from the foot. It dries very quickly, has superior low pilling performance, does not cause allergic reaction in third-party testing, and does not support bacterial proliferation. When products made of Ingeo™ come to the end of their useful life they can be returned to the earth without any negative impact on the environment unlike the problematic petroleum based products.

Merino Wool

Merino takes the itch out of wool. Merino wool fiber is so fine that five strands equal the width of a human hair. Its long silky fibers guarantee a wool sock that won’t itch. In addition to comfort, wool is nature’s technical fiber. Wool is the most hydrophilic of all natural fibers, absorbing as much as 30 percent of its weight without feeling wet. Besides being a natural wicking fiber, wool doesn’t attract dirt because it is an anti-static fiber. Merino Wool socks also retain its soft feel, wash after wash.

Silk

Silk is a natural fiber that does not conduct heat and is a natural thermal retainer. It is luxuriously soft and durable and moves moisture well.

Cotton

Cotton is hypoallergenic meaning it doesn't irritate sensitive skin or cause allergies. Cotton breathes, so it is cool to wear. Cotton does not contain any chemicals and therefore is a natural product. Cotton is a renewable resource, and it's also biodegradable.

Supplex Nylon

Supplex is a Dupont certified nylon fabric which has a soft cotton-like hand with high water and wind resistant properties, high abrasion and tear resistant. Supplex manages moisture and keeps its vibrant color, wash after wash.
