T3, Exclusive technology with three distinct layers of yarn, allowing for maximum performance from each type of yarn for maximum benefit to the athlete's foot.

Merino Wool Fiber: The wool of Merino sheep, due to the greater length and smaller diameter of its fibers, results in a softer yarn with a finer loop that is more comfortable against the skin than the wool of other sheep breeds. The fiber core is hydrophilic and breathable. Because it retains heat even when wet, it's the intermediate fiber in T3 socks and the main fiber in T2 socks for use in colder temperatures.

Primaloft Recycled, a polyester yarn developed by Primaloft (world's number one in artificial thermal insulation for technical garments), is a soft, thermally insulating, hydrophobic fiber that wicks away moisture rather than absorbing it. It's now made with 70% recycled content, such as plastic bottles.

Red Cycled Nylon yarn is made entirely from fishing nets that have reached the end of their useful life in the fishing industry. Instead of becoming a hazard on the ocean floor, these nets are recycled to create new nylon yarn. This continuous fiber yarn is characterized by its strength and cushioning capacity. It's the most durable fiber on the market.

Stretch Nylon with Lycra is a synthetic elastane fiber that can stretch up to six times its length and return to its original shape time and time again. Its placement throughout the sock provides support and lasting slip resistance.

Composition: 34% Merino Wool, 31% Red-Cycled Nylon, 20% Stretch Nylon with Lycra, 15% Recycled Primaloft.
