All of the brands here in our Kit Store are our team’s favourites. We try and test almost every brand and product we can to ensure our customers get the most out of their kit! Our team have all live in Teko socks, and after trying most of the brands out there, Teko have quickly become our favourite socks by far. Here is why we love them so much:
Teko
Another merino sock brand? Teko are more than that. Over the years, Teko have researched and tested to produce the most sustainable yet high performing socks they can. With a blend of fibres for maximum comfort, durability and great fit. Teko’s passion for the outdoors is the key to them producing a great quality sock. They know that a bad sock can ruin your outdoor adventures, so strive to produce enhancing socks.
There are a few fundamentals to picking the right Teko sock. You need to choose your sport/activity and then the fibre. It all depends on climate, activity and support required, but there is sure to be the perfect sock for everybody.
The Fibres
There are three fibres that make up Teko’s range of socks. Each are sustainably sourced to produce a high quality, eco-friendly sock.
The M3RINO.XC fibre is made from merino wool grown and produced in Chile. The wool is then transported to Italy, to be cleaned, combed and washed in a Bluesign certified process to produce an eco-friendly, shrink free sock. This fibre is knitted into Ski, Hike and Cycle socks, with more cushioning and warmth for colder conditions. This fibre naturally contains lanolin which has antimicrobial properties along with being a water repellent. This means you can wear this fibre for a multi-day walking adventure and only need one or two pairs of socks!!
The SIN3RGI fibre is made from merino wool grown and produced in Chile, then dyed and spun with recycled polyester before being knitted in Venice, Italy. This fibre is knitted into Ski, Run, Cycle and Hiking socks, producing a lightweight sock for medium temperatures. This is a durable fibre with natural anti-microbial properties.
The EVAPOR8 fibre is made from collecting all the waste polyamide around the world, mainly in the form of fishing nets. This can then be made into ECONYL regenerated yarns, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This fibre is knitted into Run and Cycle socks, to produce a sock with more breathability for warmer climates.
