The LOWA MOUN­TAIN­EERING sock was specifically developed for demanding mountain hikes and creates the perfect symbiosis between foot and shoe. Several different factors are responsible for this. They include the tradi­tional char­ac­ter­istics of LOWA socks, with the right/left footbed, anatomical toe cap, Achilles tendon protector and ribbed comfort cuff. The anatom­ically zoned protectors distributed around the foot not only have a light cush­ioning effect, but also ensure a pleasant foot climate thanks to their posi­tioning and open structure. Partic­ularly close attention is paid to the arch support, which effi­ciently protects the foot arch against fatigue, while the integrated heel support holds the socks snugly in place and prevents slipping and bunching. This interplay of different materials and weaving tech­niques guar­antees a perfect fit and optimum support the whole day long on mountain treks.

Upper material

Approx. 36%
Polyester

Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flex­ibility, polyester is light­weight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.

Approx. 35%
Polyamide

Poly­amides are plastics that are synthesised and can be used to produce man-made fibres as a result. In addition to their toughness, poly­amides are known for their form stability, tear and abrasion resistance and waterproof qualities. Poly­amides are also elastic, very stretchy and high gloss.

Approx. 14%
Polyacryl
Approx. 12%
Wool (merino)

Merino wool is the high-quality wool shorn from Merino sheep. Merion fibres are finer and thinner than those of typical sheep’s wool. They are pleasant to wear as a result. Air chambers form as a result of puckering in indi­vidual fibres. These chambers entrap the body’s warmth, producing an insu­lating and temperature-regu­lating effect.

Approx. 3%
Elastane

Elastane is an espe­cially stretchy chemical fibre that is also highly elastic. It can be spun as filament yarn and made into textile products. Elastane is char­ac­terised in particular by its extreme stretchiness, tremendous breaking length, permanent shape retention and very low weight.
