Renowned Spanish technical sock brand Lorpen has unveiled a transformative relaunch, aligning its product range with vibrant aesthetics, refined segmentation, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability and durability. As part of its Fall/Winter 2025 collection, the brand introduces a reimagined portfolio of outdoor performance socks, emphasising cutting-edge materials and a lifetime guarantee to reflect their enduring quality.

The revamped designs bring a striking, colourful look that merges contemporary trends with the brand’s outdoor legacy. Lorpen’s updated range now features distinct categories tailored to specific activities: outdoor mountaineering, trail running, running, ski, and baselayers. Each category is further segmented into:

- Pro: Advanced technology for high-performance activities.

- Classics: Time-tested designs loved for over 25 years.

- Merino: Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) merino wool products, prized for thermoregulation and comfort.

Additionally, a new Lifestyle collection delivers everyday socks with the same high-tech craftsmanship as their outdoor-focused counterparts, providing exceptional comfort at a competitive price point.

New trail running innovations

Trail running enthusiasts can look forward to Merino + Coolmax socks, blending RWS-certified merino wool and Coolmax fibres for superior softness, breathability, and odour resistance - ideal for long training sessions. For those prioritizing ultra-lightweight performance, the Coolmax + Tencel model ensures optimal freshness and breathability during high-intensity activities. Both models include features like secure ankle fit for enhanced performance.

Proven technologies for outdoor excellence

Lorpen’s Pro lineup continues to showcase proprietary technologies such as T3 Layering and SLS (Support and Stability) for tailored fit, sweat regulation, and blister prevention. Each sock’s unique construction combines precise material selection with thoughtful design, offering breathable comfort and strategic cushioning based on activity-specific demands.

For mountaineers and skiers, merino wool remains a constant, delivering reliable warmth and performance. Lorpen also retains its Seamless Baselayers, crafted with merino to ensure comfort and thermal regulation, and Thermolite EcoMade for active users tackling cold climates.

Leading the way in sustainability

A pioneer in biodegradable textiles, Lorpen introduced the Biowarmer sock, the world’s first sock made from biodegradable materials, earning the prestigious ISPO Award in 2022. its sustainability ethos extends to every product, utilising recycled, reused, or certified materials to reduce environmental impact.

Lorpen’s products are crafted in their Etxalar, Navarre factory, part of the Ternua Group Faktoria, a state-of-the-art sustainable production centre. The facility prioritises renewable energy, local employment, and waste repurposing, turning textile remnants into insulation and automotive materials. Lorpen’s commitment to sustainable practices earned them B-Corp certification in 2014, cementing their reputation as a brand with purpose.

Lorpen is a global leader in technical outdoor socks, offering solutions for activities including mountaineering, skiing, trail running, and more. With operations spanning over 50 countries and a 70% international sales share, the brand combines innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability to protect adventurers’ feet worldwide.
