Woolpower Socks Skilled Liner Classic

• Breathable
• Quick-drying
• Antibacterial
• Not waterproof

Woolpower’s Skilled Liner Classic are highly insulating socks made from merino wool. This sock fits closely and provides extra support and ventilation when needed. In addition, the sock is antibacterial and odor-resistant, so you don’t have to wash it every time you wear it. The reinforcing heel and toe piece keeps the sock in place and allows you to keep walking! Also, the socks are seamless, so they will not irritate and there is less chance of blisters. In short, these socks are ideal to wear while hiking!

Merino wool has the advantage that unpleasant odors do not linger. So it is not necessary to wash the clothes, even for a first use. Woolpower even recommends simply airing the clothing. If you still want to wash the clothing, you can do so with
special wool detergent.
You can then wash the clothing even at 60℃. This is because the wool is first treated in the “superwash,” creating a pre-shrinkage.

Materials

Merino wool

Merino wool comes from merino sheep and is widely known for its high quality. Merino sheep have much more hair than other sheep. About ten times as many hairs grow per square meter as an average sheep. As a result, the wool is thinner and longer, feels very soft and does not itch. Merino sheep live in areas with large temperature fluctuations of -20 ºC to over 35 ºC. Their fur acts as a heat regulator. As a result, merino wool keeps you warm in the cold but breathes well. In addition, merino wool has excellent moisture management and self-cleaning properties, so you won’t easily suffer from perspiration marks and odors on your clothing.

Polyamide

Polyamide, also known as nylon, is a synthetic material made from petroleum. Polyamide is a strong fabric that does not tear and wrinkle easily. It is light, elastic, easy to fold and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyamide is that it does not absorb moisture well.

Elastane

Elastane is a synthetic fiber that is exceptionally elastic. Its great stretchability, but at the same time its sturdiness sets it apart from other synthetic fabrics. For example, it is stronger and more durable than rubber, but also much lighter. Elastane is very lightweight, making it great for when you are doing activities. In fact, elastane also offers plenty of room to move because it is so elastic without losing its fit.

Size advice

Woolpower’s clothing is mostly unisex and falls generously for both women and men. Moreover, it may become slightly wider during wear. The insulating properties of Woolpower garments are at their best when they fit to the skin. Therefore, for at least ladies, it is advised to take one size smaller. For proper sizing, please refer to the size charts at the top of this page.
