Is the particularity of the material of sports socks an IQ tax?
Jan 10, 2023| If someone asked me this question before, I would tell him: What is the difference between socks? ! I do not believe!
But if someone asks me now, I will tell him: there is still a difference between professional sports socks and ordinary socks.
Professional sports socks are made of special yarns. Unlike ordinary socks, they only use a single yarn such as cotton or nylon, but polyester-cotton blended yarns.
Feet during exercise: high temperature and humidity, this environment is easy to breed bacteria.
Therefore, the yarn made of professional sports socks has a significant moisture absorption and perspiration effect, because the yarn will be treated with advanced technology-moisture absorption and perspiration, antibacterial and deodorant technology.
Speaking of this, some people may still stay on the "yarn" and feel very puzzled: What is the relationship between socks and yarn?
Seriously, how many people don't know that socks are made of yarn?
And there are many kinds of yarns of different materials, which will be introduced one by one below.
1. Six materials
01 cotton
Cotton fabric is skin-friendly and anti-allergic;
Cotton is very moisturizing, which means that cotton socks absorb sweat, but do not wick it, which is a disadvantage for socks;
At the same time, it is not resistant to mold, easy to wrinkle, easy to shrink, easy to deform.
02 polyester
Polyester, also known as polyester fiber. At present, polyester treated with advanced technology is widely used to make some professional sports socks;
Good resilience, not easy to deform; wear-resistant, heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant;
However, polyester that has not been processed by advanced technology has the disadvantages of poor air permeability and hygroscopicity.
03 Nylon
Nylon, also known as nylon. Nylon material is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, with smooth surface and good toughness;
But water absorption, heat resistance, antistatic property is poor.
04 wool
What a luxurious material wool is!
It has good warmth retention, elasticity, moisture absorption, durability, and air permeability; it has high gloss in appearance, good drape, and is not easy to wrinkle;
However, it shrinks and tends to pill.
05 Acrylic
Acrylic fiber, also known as polyacrylonitrile.
Acrylic fiber is light, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant;
But it has poor hygroscopicity and is not wear-resistant.
06 polyester cotton
If the "hybrid" of blending is processed by advanced technology in a professional factory, it almost combines the advantages of other materials: good elasticity, heat resistance and wear resistance, not easy to shrink, not easy to wrinkle;
At the same time quick-drying, smooth, breathable, soft and comfortable;
However, if it is a polyester-cotton blend that has not been technically treated, it will have the disadvantages of being easy to absorb oil, generate static electricity, and easily absorb dust.
Ps : Other yarns Corn yarn: a synthetic fiber made from corn, wheat and other starches which are fermented into lactic acid and then polymerized and spun.
Linen: Excellent moisture absorption, breathability, antiseptic, antibacterial, low static and other characteristics.
And : Materials that can be reused through processing after recycled raw materials are recovered. This material is very environmentally friendly.
2. The yarn structure of socks Ordinary socks are made of cotton, wool and other yarns.
Professional sports socks are based on ordinary socks, and specific parts are also made of more high-tech yarns;
In this way, the wrapping property, elasticity and anti-slip coefficient of the socks can be improved.
Professional sports socks will be made of blended yarn, which combines the advantages of various materials;
However, at this time, your little head may have great doubts: won't this also copy and paste the shortcomings of each material?
No. Blended yarns adopt different proportions of ingredients, which is intended to highlight the advantages of materials. Some professional sports socks will specially customize the yarn according to international standards and carry out moisture absorption and sweat-wicking technology treatment. This kind of customized yarn is not available in the market.
So professional sports socks can achieve:
Moisture wicking, effective antibacterial;
Lightweight, breathable, soft and comfortable;
More wear-resistant, more skin-friendly, more non-slip;
It has better humidity control effect.
Last but not the least
"Gene" determines the prototype of the product High-quality yarn is the basis of good socks
