About
Our 2-part system is designed to prevent friction, provide insulation and reduce moisture build-up. The high density nap construction of our boot socks provides maximum comfort on all types of terrain and in all weather conditions
How It Works
The TechSpun Environmental Sock System utilizes 14" Coolmax liner socks to control the inner environment next to the skin surface and the uniquely designed 12" Boot Socks. These outdoor socks are constructed of a blend of premium grade, high denier-count U.S. wool, a stable fiber polypropylene, and a small amount of nylon to aid in stretchiness.
These fabrics are pre-treated, blended, and knitted into a unique high-density, reversed terry nap/high loft boot sock. The ambient air is trapped by the reversed terry nap yarn, which prevents cold and/or heat from penetrating the interior environment next to the foot while maximizing the surface area for moisture transport management, also known as wicking. The terry nap cushions your feet, displaces friction by reducing chafing, and prevents blisters. It also minimizes pressure points.

The Fiber:
The fiber is Invista's® Coolmax® - a four channel core fiber that is lightweight, soft and a non-chafing yarn which actually wicks the moisture away from the foot.
Sock Systems
The TechSpun Sock System consists of two socks: an inner liner sock and an outer boot sock. All sock systems require the use of the liner sock. The liner sock only comes in one weight and is used to wick moisture away from the foot.
The TechSpun boot socks come in two weights: All Weather (AW) and Extreme Weather (EW). The All Weather socks are our most popular and versatile option, designed to handle moderate to heavy conditions and temperatures from 0 degrees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Our Extreme Weather socks are a heavier weight version of the All Weather design. They are capable of withstanding extreme load conditions and extreme temperatures ranging from - 40 degrees to 0 degrees and 100 degrees to +120 degrees Fahrenheit.
NOTE:That the bulkier knit construction of the EW system may require a wider or larger boot size than you would normally wear.
Please note that these socks are not a substitute for insulation in conditions where insulated boots are required.
