Kamik uses Thermo°Cool for socks
Montréal-based outdoor footwear specialist Kamik is to launch a new line of performance socks at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market (Salt Lake City, January 21-24) in collaboration with Richter International. The new sock line will be the first to bear the Kamik brand name. It features a blend of Advansa’s thermoregulation fibre Thermo°Cool and extra-fine Merino wool.
“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our current offering and, not surprisingly, the idea of socks has long been something we’ve considered, but we wanted to do it right,” explained Richard Cook, president of Kamik. “We’re confident that this new sock line will continue the tradition Kamik started over 100 years ago of providing high quality, functional merchandise at affordable prices.”
Thermo°Cool offers thermal benefits and moisture management during physical activity. It is made from fibres with a hollow core blended with fibres that have a channelled surface. Combined with the Merino, which offers natural moisture wicking and odour control, the company claims the fabric is “incomparable” in terms of comfort and performance.
The Kamik sock line will include styles for hiking, skiing, and outdoor sports in styles and sizes for men, women and children.
