The Lycra Company has launched Thermolite Everyday Warmth, a new fabric innovation it has first deployed with the release of new socks. The technology is said to provide functional performance whilst providing greater heat retention without additional weight. This is enabled using hollow fibres which serve as air pockets and reportedly “trap the wearer’s body heat”.
“We’re laser-focused on producing high-quality fibres that empower our customers to create comfortable garments that deliver lasting performance,” said Sybille Bald, Legwear Strategic Marketing Director at The Lycra Company.
“As the temperatures drop and people lower their thermostats to save energy, socks that help keep feet warm will become a critical component of daily attire.”
The product’s performance has been verified by a standardised measurement technique which the company says measures the degree of warmth provided.
“The launch of Thermolite Everyday Warmth technology for socks enables brands to differentiate their products while providing consumers in colder environments the warmth they require.”
