Description of Lorpen Coolmax Multisport Ultra Light Shorty Sock:
The Lorpen X-Treme Bike and Trail Running Coolmax Thin socks are designed to keep your feet cool high-output workouts in hot weather. Woven extra thin to give your feet plenty of room to breathe, these sock will still outlast all the others you've got sitting in your drawer. A unique blend of Coolmax, Lycra, and Polyamide to create a sock that retains its shape and resists movement and abrasion. 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: Thin on material, heavy on technology.
As an ex-jock I never thought I'd switch from my white cotton to these but I have significant foot issues and these provide the dryness, coolness and comfort I need.

Great socks! 06-18-07

After 3 weeks in Europe, I was so glad I had two pairs of these great socks! They absorb perspiration easily and reduce friction. I walked and walked, but did not get one blister. You can hand wash them and they will air dry in a few hours. Well worth the price! I left my cotton socks in the suitcase after trying the Coolmax socks.
These have a perfect fit when you pull them on and they are really nice on the trail. Also when you want to let them air out, these dry very fast and your feet never get that "Overdone" feeling in any foot wear. Great socks for sure!
