Socks / Materials ABC
Egyptian cotton
This luxurious fiber makes each sock noticeably silkier, firmer, more breathable and more durable than its cotton counterpart.
Air Channel System R.A.C.S.
The Air Channel System improves air circulation, absorbs moisture, inhibits odor and has an antibacterial effect. This guarantees dry and happy feet for hours on end.
Anatomical design
The anatomical design of the socks hugs the shape of the foot and provides targeted reinforcements in high-wear areas. This ensures a tailored fit.
Anti-slip tube
The anti-slip tube technology gives the socks a non-slip shaft without elastane. This means that socks no longer cut in and do not slip.
Antibacterial
Rohner socks are manufactured in such a way that they are effective against bacteria.
Antistatic
Antistatic fibers are not or only slightly electrically charged because they are electrically conductive. Such fibers cannot be charged by friction.
Breathable
The ability of a garment to wick moisture away from the skin to the outside. This refers to water vapor permeability. The important thing here is not how much moisture is absorbed by the material, but how quickly it is evaporated.
Cotton
Cotton is a fine natural fiber and is highly absorbent, but dries slowly once wet. It is also very skin-friendly as it does not irritate the skin and has anti-allergic properties. Cotton socks are particularly breathable, durable and hard-wearing. In addition to these excellent properties, cotton socks are durable and heat-resistant.
Organic cotton®
No artificial pesticides are used on organic cotton fields like on normal cotton plantations, which is why the soil is fertile in the long term. In addition, the environment and groundwater remain clean and people's health is not affected.
Bioceramics
Resistex bioceramic is a polyester fiber that is linked to bioceramic crystals and provides comprehensive protection.
ADVANTAGES:
- constant effectiveness, even after many washes
- insulation from the cold
- Environmentally friendly: non-toxic, contains no chemicals, recyclable material
- Protection against harmful UV-A and UV-B rays
- ensures long-term freshness during sporting activities
- Odor-inhibiting and antibacterial
man-made fiber
Man-made fibers are fibrous materials that are produced chemically. A distinction is made between two groups: synthetic and cellulosic. Synthetic man-made fibers are made from raw materials that do not exist in nature, which is why they are produced artificially. Cellulosic man-made fibers, on the other hand, are produced from the natural raw material cellulose.
Climayarn®
Climayarn® fibers regulate body temperature and quickly wick away excess moisture.
CoolMax® fibers
CoolMax® wicks away perspiration, dries quickly and prevents blisters.
Crabyon fibers
Crabyon fibers are obtained from the outer skeleton, the chitin shell (residual product) of crabs. The extraordinary thing about this material is its antibacterial effect, as it slows down the growth of bacteria, improves the foot climate and reduces the risk of infection, making it suitable for allergy sufferers. Crabyon also has excellent moisture-absorbing properties, which means that feet always stay dry without the skin drying out.
Elastane
Elastane fibers are chemical fibers made of polyurethane, which contain both elastic and rigid segments, resulting in a very high elastic stretch. Environmental conditions and low or high temperatures do not affect elastane socks because the elastane makes them more tear-resistant and durable than all other socks. Each time the sock is stretched, it always returns to its original shape. Elastane socks are very comfortable to wear and offer great freedom of movement, and they are also very easy to care for. The soft-to-the-touch material ensures a perfect fit.
Ergonomic
Ergonomic socks are optimally adapted to the feet and therefore take into account the body's resilience.
Fine knit
Fine knit is a soft and light fabric knitted from very thin yarn, which is also very supple and suitable for everyday wear.
Flat seam
With this type of seam, also known as a butt seam, two fabric edges are joined flat or folded. In this way, additional fabric is avoided. The edges do not overlap but butt together. The hand-linked flat seam of Rohner socks protects against pressure points in the toe area.
Terry cloth
Terry cloth is a textile fabric that makes socks particularly absorbent and pleasant to the touch.
Yarn
YARN is an endless, linear textile structure. It is produced from spun fibers with a limited length by spinning or from several endless threads by twisting. The type of yarn used has a decisive influence on the fabric properties in terms of appearance (uniformity), serviceability (abrasion, tear, crease and seam resistance) and wearability (absorbency, softness, pliability).
Warp-knitted lace
Different pieces of fabric are joined together in such a way that the toe area is seamless to avoid friction or irritation of the foot.
Interlock
Interlock is a stitch weave for fine, but less stretchy, dimensionally stable knitwear that has a knit stitch pattern on both sides. Interlock is produced on circular knitting machines. Due to the higher amount of material used, interlock is more expensive and heavier than comparable fabrics, which are also made from cotton, silk, polyester or polyamide.
Jersey
JERSEY comes from the British Channel Island of Jersey, where jersey fabrics were first produced. It is a knitted fabric made from different raw materials.
Carbon
Resistex Karbon is a yarn with unique technical properties. It is obtained by combining textile fibers with a continuous filament of conductive material based on activated carbon.
ADVANTAGES:
- Reduction of lactic acid concentration
- Improvement of blood circulation
- Enrichment of the cells with oxygen
- natural, non-toxic, contains no chemicals
- Protection against UV rays, bacteria and allergies
- Heat regulation and transfer
- performance enhancement
Cashmere
Cashmere is a fine and soft natural fiber obtained from the undercoat of the cashmere goat, which is why it is referred to as a fine wool that has good thermal properties. Cashmere also has a silky sheen and keeps you warm.
Compression
Socks with compression stimulate blood circulation, supply the muscles with more oxygen and thus help against symptoms such as heavy legs, aching limbs, swollen feet and ankles.
Lenofil
Reinforces the heel and toe area with high abrasion resistance and prevents blisters.
Lingerie
LINGERIE comes from the French and means underwear or piece of underwear. Lingerie is a collective term for fine nightwear and underwear. It is characterized by materials such as fine white cotton or linen and delicate embroidery and lace.
LYCRA®
Lycra is a very elastic synthetic fiber from the elastane group.
Lyocell (CLY)
Lyocell is made from cellulose, which is obtained here from eucalyptus wood. Lyocell is natural, environmentally friendly, easy to produce and has excellent strength. Thanks to its smooth and silky surface, it feels very pleasant against the skin and transports moisture perfectly. It also prevents the growth of bacteria.
Knitted fabric
Knitwear is a collective term for knitted, warp-knitted and crocheted fabrics. This technology uses needles to form yarns into stitches that are joined together vertically and horizontally.
Merino wool
Merino wool is obtained from merino sheep. It is particularly soft and is also the ideal material for particularly sweaty activities, as it absorbs moisture, wicks it away and dries quickly, keeping the body and clothing dry. Other properties: elastic, smooth, warm and very pleasant on the skin.
MerylSkinlife®
MerylSkinlife, with silver microparticles, is part of the most modern mix of intelligent polyamide yarns. It has permanent antibacterial and odor-inhibiting properties to reduce unpleasant odors.
Modal
MODAL is the name for a regenerated cellulose fiber with high tensile strength produced by a modified viscose process.
Natural fiber
Natural fibers come from natural (plant, animal or mineral) sources and can be used directly without chemical conversion. One example of this is cotton, which is of plant origin (cellulose).
Piqué structure
Piqué is a type of cotton or viscose fabric that looks like quilting as it has alternating raised and recessed areas.
Polyamide
Polyamide is a strong, elastic and high-gloss synthetic material with very good chemical resistance.
Polyester (Dacron®, Trevira®)
Polyester is a plastic with a wide range of applications.
ADVANTAGES:
- easy to clean
- dries quickly
- transports moisture well
- soft and skin-friendly
- retains warmth
- fine, thin, light
- high dimensional stability, does not crease
- high strength and flexibility and therefore durable and tear-resistant
polypropylene
Polypropylene is a strong, rigid and hard plastic with good impact resistance.
Profilen® fibers
Profilen® fibers are dirt and water repellent and offer excellent gliding properties to prevent blisters.
Rib
RIPP fine rib is a right-knit fabric produced on circular knitting machines. When it is stretched, you can see alternating knit and purl stitches on both sides of a row of stitches. The knit stitches form a fine continuous rib lengthwise. The fabric is fine and elastic. Double rib is a double-faced knitted fabric that is produced on circular knitting machines. By removing needles, visible ribs are created in the fabric. The weave is less fine, but particularly elastic, and is therefore often used for cuffs.
Virgin wool
This type of wool is shorn from live sheep and is therefore a natural product. It is hard-wearing and warm.
SeaCell® Active
The material with active algae ingredients that improves the soft and comfortable feel. Through skin contact, the fiber releases important active ingredients such as proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc.
Seamless
SEAMLESS means seamless. The underwear has no side seams or flat edges. It does not pinch and no seams show under the outerwear.
Silk
Silk is a fine natural animal fiber obtained from the cocoons of silk-spinning insects. It is soft and smooth and has an insulating effect against cold and heat.
Silver fibers
Skin-friendly silver fibers can be used to make textiles conductive and antibacterial. These fibers are also good at wicking away perspiration and thus have an odor-inhibiting effect.
SmartCell® yarn
A yarn that has an antibacterial and odor-inhibiting effect and therefore improves the feeling of freshness. It supports and cares for the skin and also has a regenerating effect. It also promotes the healing of wounds and inflammation and protects against environmental influences.
Viscose (CV)
Viscose is made from cellulose, which in turn comes from spruce or beech wood.
Woven fabric
In woven fabrics, warp threads running lengthwise and weft threads running crosswise are crossed at right angles. It is not stretchable, which is why it cannot adapt to the shape of the body.
