An Italian company specialized in the production of technical sports socks and tights, is targeting the market for active sportswear with an all-in-one socks and tights combination that features breathable thermo regulating fabric.

The 4Perform range from Sport & Tex Lab srl, which is knitted seamlessly, has been created with the objective of providing greater comfort for the wearer.

According to Sport & Tech Lab, whilst designing the 4Perform socks and accessories, it especially considered the strain to which the body is subjected during specific sport activities. Through a combination of modern production processes using the latest machinery and selecting high-quality yarns, a unique patented all in one tights and socks garment was created in a progressive design. The resultant garment is said to meet user requirements whilst delivering high quality and the greatest possible comfort.

Sport & Tex Lab set as an objective, the need to guarantee optimal thermoregulation to the body, providing thermo buffering or evaporative cooling according to the wearer’s needs. “The excellent technology of ThermoCool by Advansa is the major factor of our choice resulting in the right answer to the expectations, a multi-functional and ecological evolution of modified cross-section fibres designed with two specific activities,” commented Maurizio Trombetta from Sport & Tex Lab.

According to Advansa, manufacturer of ThermoCool, evaporative cooling allows the evaporation of moisture faster, thanks to ThermoCool’s unique fibre mix. The fibres are designed with a multi-channel surface that is said to allow outstanding moisture transport and improve air circulation in the fabric, focusing on the evaporation process.

ThermoCool’s hollow voids are also said to permit thermobuffering, so that the sock protects the user from temperature changes, preventing post exercise chill and allowing excess heat to dissipate into the air.

“Sport socks have the large task of keeping athlete’s feet comfortable at any level and providing a more evenly distributed strain on stressed muscles. Our socks and tights are specifically made for these individual needs. They feature the outstanding functionality of ThermoCool which implies high quality materials very well-appreciated by the athletes. 4Perform socks are the right choice giving an added value and a guarantee of functionality and making the difference in sports performance and health” Mr. Trombetta said.
