Sweat-Reducing Socks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Maqoo Regulate Anklets Control Temperature and Reduce Odor

— June 28, 2016 — Fashion
The Maqoo Regulate Socks are an asset to anyone that enjoys copious amounts of activity or often finds that their feet become overheated throughout the day, as these socks are designed to reduce odor, regulate temperature and provide a comfortable fit. The socks are constructed using specially engineered merino wool that helps to provide a comfortable fit that absorbs moisture and smell.

Merino wool is an ideal fabric to use in clothing that is worn in both hot and cold climates -- such as socks -- because the material keeps wearer's cool when it is warm and warm when its cool. The socks also contain a specific fibre weave that regulates perspiration and wafting odors to keep wearers ultra comfortable through hours of wear. The socks are available in white, grey and black for easy matching.
Trend Themes
1. Temperature-regulating Clothing - The use of merino wool and specialized fibers in clothing can provide a comfortable temperature no matter the climate, creating opportunities for new clothing lines.
2. Odor-reducing Materials - The development of new materials specifically designed to reduce unpleasant odors in clothing, can lead to new products and applications in the sports and fitness industry.
3. Moisture-absorbing Fabrics - Advancements in materials that can absorb moisture and sweat in clothing could pave the way for innovative athletic and performance clothing lines.
Industry Implications
1. Sports and Fitness Apparel - New temperature-regulating, odor-reducing and moisture-absorbing materials could revolutionize how sports and fitness apparel is designed and manufactured.
2. Medical Compression Socks - The use of specialized fibers in medical compression socks which reduces odors and regulates temperature can be useful in improving patient comfort during long-term use.
3. Outdoor Gear - Temperature-regulating, odor-reducing and moisture-absorbing materials can disrupt the outdoor gear industry by providing more comfortable clothing options for hikers, backpackers, and adventurers.
