Woolpower Skilled Classic 400
The Skilled Socks 400 are perfect for colder temperatures. The functional socks have been designed to prevent the formation of blisters caused, for example, by the lacing of the boots. The socks act like a second skin, as they do not slip even during higher levels of sporting activity and retain their optimum fit. On the back is a stabilizing, elastic band that reinforces and tightens the front so that the sock sits firmly on the skin. A breathable mesh membrane is used on the instep of the foot to wick moisture away from the body. Additional reinforcement is provided at the heel.
Woolpower AB in Östersund has been manufacturing socks since the company was founded in the early 1970s. It is important to keep feet warm and dry at all times, both at work and during leisure activities. To achieve the best effect, wear a thin, well-fitting sock directly on the foot and combine it with a thicker one if necessary.
So far it has not been possible to produce a synthetic fibre that has such fantastic properties as wool. Wool can absorb up to 30 percent of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp. This is particularly important for the feet: sweat and moisture are removed from the socks without affecting the thermal insulation. Since absorbing moisture in an exothermic process produces what is known as absorption heat, wool even produces heat. For this reason, the socks warm even when damp. Woolpower socks are easy-care and self-cleaning. The creatine in the wool naturally breaks down malodorous bacteria on the skin. Dirt particles and bad smell are removed by the water vapour, so that the socks do not have to be washed so often. All Woolpower socks - from the yarn to the finished product - are produced on special knitting machines in Östersund.
