Description of Lorpen Coolmax Multisport Light Shorty Sock:
The Lorpen X-Treme Bike and Trail Running Coolmax socks will outlast all of your other cycling or trail running socks. Lorpen uses a unique blend of Coolmax, Lycra, and Polyamide to create a sock that retains its shape, resists movement and abrasion, and keeps your feet cool. The high Coolmax content (75%) makes this sock ideal for warm climates because of superior breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities. Thoughtful construction techniques are the benchmark of Lorpen products. These socks have increased material in high-friction areas like the heel and toes, but noticeably little material at the hand-stitched flat toe seam.
Bottom Line: The X-Treme Bike and Trail Running socks have everything going for them.
I am very satisfied with these socks. They do not slide, and they keep my feet cool when the weather is warm and the humidity high. In hot weather, when I take off my shoes, I immediately feel the the coolness of the socks taking effect. Regular white socks pale comparison.
I also ran in these socks, and they performed pretty well. I'm a 8 1/2 and the medium fit me perfectly.
Let's face it feet are sweaty and thicker cushioned socks just get soggy. This nice thin fitted sock keeps your feet dry and comfy. I wear these socks everyday and have even run a marathon in them with no blisters. I love these socks.
Hey Backcountry.com guys, here have the blue colored ones gone?
Bottom line: buy 5-6 pairs at a time.
