A lightweight synthetic sock with strong moisture control and a secure fit.
Lorpen says:
Sock that makes possible to keep the foot cool and protected thanks to the combination of technologies. The padding in the heel and toe provides comfort during long, non-winter days of trekking. The combination of Extra Grip and SBS
technologies guarantees a perfect fit, avoiding excessive tightening of the calf.
Our Verdict
At 53g (Medium pair), the Lorpen Pro Trek Coolmax Light Crew Socks use a blend of Coolmax, Tencel, recycled nylon and Lycra to manage heat and moisture effectively. The mesh zones provide noticeable breathability, while padding at the heel and toe offers comfort without excess bulk. The flat toe seam prevents rubbing, and the Comfort Plus cuff holds the sock in place without constricting the calf. I found the fit stable, with no slipping or creasing during movement. Durability is good for a lightweight design, with the fabric blend resisting wear and drying quickly after washing or in damp conditions. Lorpen’s focus on layering and technical blends shows through here, delivering a sock that combines comfort, breathability and long-lasting performance for long days in warm conditions.
