Moa Sport launches ThermoCool socks
Italian cycling apparel company Moa Sport has created a new range of cycling socks constructed with Advansa ThermoCool technology, for moisture control and temperature regulation.
According to Moa, the socks offer excellent evaporative cooling and thermobuffering properties, making perspiration at the sole of the heel and the toe much more comfortable for the wearer.
The collection includes specialised socks for cycle rides in both cold and warm climates and is designed to be light, well-fitting and comfortable. They also feature extra cushioning around pressure points.
The evaporative cooling properties of the socks allow moisture to evaporate due to a unique fibre mix, Moa says. The fibres are designed with multi-channel surface to provide moisture transport and improve air circulation in the fabric, focusing on the evaporation process. The thermobuffering properties are created by hollow voids, allowing excess heat to dissipate into the air.
Moa’s range of technical cycling socks also includes the eco-friendly option Advansa ThermoCool eco. According to Advansa, this is a technological and sustainable innovation, which offers to customers a more environmentally friendly choice, with less impact on the environment. Staple fibres are made using recycling technology, in which the polymer based on post-consumer PET is transformed through a manufacturing process into polyester fibre.
“Our latest collection is completely designed and made in-house, like all other items of our technical cycling clothing,” said Carlo Masciti, product and style development manager of Moa Sport. “We strive to give full support to customers through continuous material innovation and product development, tailor-making solutions for customers. We are happy to introduce Advansa ThermoCool as a new innovative material in socks which are made to support the foot.”
Moa Sport will be showcasing its new collection of socks at Eurobike in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from 31 August to 3 September, 2011.
