Skisocken UYN Man Ski Touring One Bio Socks Black/Blue - 2024/25

Developed specifically for the needs of ski mountaineering, the UYN SKI TOURING ONE BIO socks feature UYN's proprietary technologies combined with new-generation bio-materials. The thermoregulating effect of Merino wool is enhanced through the combination with the natural fibre kapok. The result is an ideal foot temperature even in the coldest climates. The exclusive Zerocuff technology facilitates blood circulation and contributes to increased performance.

Technologies:

• BIOLIGHT is a plant-based fibre that gives UYN garments unique characteristics. Derived from the cellulose of beech plants, this fibre is smooth, soft and bright, and provides and extremely pleasant touch. BIOLIGHT is characterised by its breathable properties and its ability to retain moisture (twice as much as cotton). Thanks to its structure, BIOLIGHT fabric helps to keep the skin cool and dry. BOTANIC ORIGIN Extracted from the beech tree from responsibly managed forests 100% BIODEGRADABLE Born from nature, returns to nature SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE Retains twice as much moisture as cotton, is pleasantly soft and light.
• THE VEGETABLE WOOL Nature never fails to amaze us. Nature gives us KAPOK, a precious and totally organic fibre obtained from the fruit of the Ceiba Pentandra, a sacred plant that grows up to 60 metres high, widespread in the rainforests of South America. Known as 'vegetable wool' for its extraordinary lightness, KAPOK fibre has only recently been used in the textile industry for padding cushions and mattresses. We at UYN were the first to succeed in using the natural yarn in sportswear - as a fabric with exceptional active properties and not as padding. THE WORLD' S LIGHTEST NATURAL FIBRE KAPOK is a hollow fibre composed of 80% air, with a very low density (0.35 g/cm3). Because of this, Kapok is the lightest natural fibre in the world. NATURALLY INSULATING The structure allows the KAPOK fibre to trap a large amount of body-warmed air thus creating an insulating barrier that protects against temperature changes. SOFT AND HYPOALLERGENIC High-quality and soft, it dries quickly, is hygroscopic and has natural antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties. TOTALLY ORGANIC KAPOK fibre grows wild in pristine forests, no intensive cultivation is required and the fiber is harvested by hand. No fertilizers or pesticides are used in its cultivation.
• EUCALYPTUS WOOD HAS NEVER BEEN SO COMFORTABLE The wood obtained from Eucalyptus trees becomes ECOLYPT, a 100% sustainable natural fiber with exceptional properties. The characteristics of the pulp of the wood from which it is obtained give ECOLYPT strength and great elasticity. Its structure is composed of very small hydrophilic fibers that absorb up to 50% more moisture than cotton. In addition, the fiber is highly breathable, minimizes the formation of odors and thanks to its temperature regulating properties is able to provide a cooling effect in hot temperatures and warm in cold days. The entire production process of ECOLYPT fiber is characterized by a closed loop: all water and enzymes are recovered and reused in a further production process.
