Designed to keep you going through long tours, UYN Explorer Support Trekking Socks use ‘smart’ targeted compression to increase the supply of oxygen to hard-working muscles. The socks are made with hi-tech Subernat nano-fibres for softness, abrasion resistance and moisture absorption, and Natex, a surprising 100% plant-based nylon fibre that wicks, and dries that moisture away 50% faster than comparable nylon socks. Knitted with ‘Cool-Air-Flow’ technology, the socks have a 3D structure that includes micro-channels for air circulation. A left/right foot-specific Ergologic’ footbed puts all protection and support in exactly the right places, so the ‘Preshock Shield’ at the Achilles, ‘Anti-Impactors’ at the calf and shin, ‘Intericor’ inner ankle guards, asymmetric ankle compression and padding for the toes, instep and heel are all precisely located.
