4 -layer socks

The 4-layer socks are made with layering technology developed by sock masters, allowing different materials to be knit on their own layers and thus utilize the properties of each material in the best possible way.

The 4-layer socks are made using a layering technique developed by Sukkamestarit, which allows the different materials to be knitted into their own layers, as it were, to make the most of the properties of each material.

The layered structure is formed by a combination of four materials - you can compare this to the result you are looking for in layering.

The role of the first layer is to breathe and wick moisture away from the skin, as damp skin is always susceptible to cold. Often, this first layer in UphillSport-technical socks is made of polypropylene.

The role of the second layer is to control moisture and provide warmth. Typically, we use NATIVA merino wool for this layer. Merino wool is an acrylic natural fibre that breathes, transfers and evaporates moisture to the outer layers and adapts to the ambient temperature. Merino wool also keeps you warm when damp if you are sweating profusely. Merino wool is super soft against the skin and does not itch.

A third layer adds durability and flexibility to the sock, achieved by using polyamide. The polyamide keeps the colours of the socks fresh.

The fourth layer is merino wool for extra warmth, which is placed on the bottom and toes of the sock. This prevents the cold from below from biting into your feet. The merino wool also provides extra air space for warmth.

The 4-layer socks are an excellent choice for outdoor activities and sports. Technical merino wool socks are hard wearing, offering excellent thermal regulation and moisture wicking properties. These socks will keep you going for longer!
