In-depth decryption of a pair of seemingly humble sports socks which details affect performance-part four

Part Four Other details that affect a pair of excellent sports socks

1 Elastic fiber, spandex and elastic.

If a pair of socks has no elasticity, then he can't cover his feet at all. Not to mention sports socks, even everyday socks are difficult to wear. Therefore, elastic fibers are very important for socks, and there are basically no socks that do not contain elastic fibers.

This is why it is impossible for the socks to be 100% cotton.

For most ordinary socks and sports socks, only spandex is needed as an elastic skeleton. High-quality spandex is generally suitable for elasticity and good air permeability (spandex is also divided into cotton-covered spandex, polyester-covered spandex, etc.). The elastic life span can also reach at least 6 months to 1 year.

However, many stock socks, such as the so-called original socks and foreign trade socks that are purchased online, are below a certain level. Generally, they are most likely to be stock socks. The biggest problem with stock socks is that the storage time is too long and the storage environment Due to improper reasons, the function of spandex has been lost. I often look at some very thick socks. After 2 months or even 2 weeks, they have become like sack, completely unable to hold their feet. Of course, some products that use inferior spandex will quickly lose their wrapping power even if they do not need to be stocked for a long time. Because the spandex he used was of poor quality and had a short life span. Therefore, for online sports socks, special low-priced products should be paid attention to. Because the wrapping force is invisible through the picture.

The second factor that affects the wrapping force is the elastic band, which is more elastic than spandex and has a longer life span to maintain elasticity.

However, the use of elastic bands will increase the difficulty of knitting, reduce the efficiency of knitting, and increase the defective rate. Therefore, socks that do not pay special attention to the wrapping power generally do not add elastic, and some only add a circle of elastic to strengthen the sock mouth or the arch of the foot. However, simu's protective feather socks are covered with elastic 3/4 of the whole body, and the wrapping is strengthened.

In this way, the functional life (wrapping force) of the socks will not be significantly attenuated for at least 1 to 2 years. Greatly increase the practicability and service life of sports socks.

2 Sewing process of socks

The sock will have a joint at the toe, where is the seam of the sock.

Most of the sewing heads of socks are sewn with a special sewing machine. We call it machine stitch.

The advantages of the sewing head are fast, efficient, cheap and strong.

The disadvantage is the lack of comfort, especially thick socks. The thicker the socks, the easier it is to produce a hard bulge on the head. This flute line happens to be above our toes. If you exercise vigorously, it is easy to wear your toes or cause discomfort.

Therefore, high-end socks are made with a more comfortable hand-sewn process. We call it boneless suture head or manual boneless suture head.

The reason is that this must be manually operated, and the requirements for the operator's eyes are particularly high. Because once there is a needle leak in the head, there will be a small hole, and then it is easy to expand from this small hole.

Therefore, the advantage of the hand-made boneless seam head is comfort. Generally, this seam head is not only without protrusions, but also lower than the thickness of the sock. There are no seams and corrugated lines at all, which is very comfortable.

The disadvantages are high cost, low output, and high defective rate.

Therefore, not high-end socks generally do not use boneless seams. Because of poor control of the defective rate. Simu insists on using the process of boneless joints from the perspective of products and users, even if it uses more expensive crafts and costs, requires more quality inspections, it also insists on using boneless joints.

Summary of Part IV

Excellent sports socks and badminton socks have two details that are not easy to be noticed, but they are very important to the life and comfort of a pair of socks.

One is the quality of spandex used, and the addition of rubber bands can effectively increase the wrapping force and service life.

The second is that the hand-made boneless seam head that is flat at the seam can provide a more high-quality and comfortable experience.

Make a full text summary in the last sentence

1 The thickness of high-quality sports socks (especially ball sports socks) is particularly important. To measure the thickness of a pair of sports socks, it is more objective to use naked weight.

2 For most sports socks (especially ball sports socks), pure cotton is the best, because it is skin-friendly, moisture-absorbing and breathable, and can provide the unique non-slip foot feel of natural fibers.

3 Two factors that can effectively increase the wrapping power and functional life of socks are the quality of spandex, and the second is whether to add elastic. The wrapping force strengthened by the rubber band is stronger and the life is longer, of course, it also depends on the part and quality of the rubber band.

4 A detail that is easily overlooked is the seam of the socks. Sports socks that are willing to use the more costly non-seam head technology are generally more exquisite high-end sports socks. From this detail, the level of the sports socks can be basically distinguished ( High-end or low-end)

Finally, in fact, Simu's sports socks, especially the protective feather socks, are made on the basis of fully satisfying the above four points. This is also a summary based on the above analysis. So far it seems that we have not found any other brand to fully meet the above conditions to make sports socks.

We will adhere to this principle to make high-quality sports socks and badminton socks made of cotton and boneless.

It is really not easy to make a pair of small socks. If you are a sports badminton enthusiast, you might as well search for "simu sports socks". A small inconspicuous sports equipment may surprise you.
