Designed to conform to real feet, socks are left and right constructed.
AXT™ (adventure cross training):
Strenuous outdoor activities.
is a high-performance combination of 50/50 super-washed merino wool blend and
polypropylene. Fox River is the first company marketing AXT 50/50™ branded
socks. AXT 50/50™ dries 25-30% faster than other merino wool socks,
is on average 31/2 times higher than merino wool socks in wear resistance, has
a very high thermal protection, is colorfast and moves moisture to help keep
feet dry. AXT 50/50™ is a trademark of Fox River Mills, Inc.
Blister Guard® System:
Utilizes a patented technology of 100% Friction Free™ Fiber in the
heel, pad and toe of sock. Blister Guard® is a Friction Free
Technologies, Inc. registered trademark.
CoolMax® (Dacron Polyester):
CoolMax® takes the sweat out. The specially-engineered DuPont fibers
used in CoolMax® fabrics transport perspiration away from the body
to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly. CoolMax®
provides great breathability, even when wet. The breathability further enhances
the thermoregulatory effect, so you stay dry and comfortable. CoolMax®
is an INVISTA™ registered trademark.
Provides softness, shock absorption, moisture absorption, breathability and
Friction Free® Technology:
The use of Friction Free® Fiber. Friction Free® fibers
allow movement within apparel to be unrestricted and dry. Friction Free®
Technology significantly reduces blisters, hot spots, and abrasions while
keeping the skin cooler, drier and very comfortable. During the rigors of
physical training as well as everyday activity, the Friction Free® Technology
offers men and women the freedom to push their performance without the
discomfort of foot injuries. Friction Free® is a trademark of
Friction Free® Technologies Inc.
Hollofil® (Dacron Polyester):
These hollow fibers minimize the loss of body heat and create an ultra
lightweight sock. Hollofil® is a INVISTA™ registered
A “no feel” toe seam that uses very fine stitches for a flat, smooth seam.
A looped, “no feel” toe seam very much like a hand-looped seam. It is flat and
comfortable, but completely finished on the knitting machine.
Dupont’s registered trademark for its spandex fiber. It provides better memory
fit and shape retention. Lycra® is an INVISTA™ registered trademark.
A construction technology using Lycra® in every course for
exceptional form fitting comfort. Lycra® 3D™ is an INVISTA™
Exceptionally high-quality Spanish wool that is fine, soft and itch free.
Silk is a natural thermal retainer. It’s prized for its luxurious softness as
well as its strength and durability.
Multiple Zone Construction:
This system designates various Performance Zones specific to the activity and
the physiology of the foot or hand. The Cushioned Sole Zone, Reinforced Heel
and Toe Zones, and Thermal Panel Zones are designed to enhance comfort, fit and
No Vamp Construction:
A breathable, non-terry front panel that prevents sock "bunch up" in critical
Organic Merino Wool:
Organic wool comes from sheep raised according to federal organic livestock
production standards. Fox River organic Merino wool, from the Vermont Organic
Fiber Company, is produced according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
standards and verified by independent accredited certification organizations.
Only wool from sheep raised on certified organic ranches using organic
livestock production standards can be called “organic.”
This synthetic fiber displays a higher thermal insulating power, a lower
density, and superior wicking action compared to other synthetic fibers.
A 3-ply yarn first used in survival socks. It is made of wool and wool blend
A knit pattern of alternative rows of face and back stitches that provide
excellent horizontal stretch.
A durable elastic fiber. Also known as elastane.
Terry stitches that are incorporated throughout to form thousands of air
pockets to create additional insulation and cushion.
Thermolite® (Dacron Polyester):
This combines a thermally efficient polymer with micro-sized hollow-core fibers
that trap body heat without added weight. It wicks perspiration away from the
body up to 40% faster than other fibers, and it resists mildew and odor
retention. Thermolite® is an INVISTA™ registered trademark.
A patented microfiber construction that provides greater warmth with less bulk.
Its greater number of fibers allows moisture vapor to evaporate. Thinsulate®
is a 3M registered trademark.
Fox River’s Wick Dry® Health System™ moves moisture away
from the feet. Our unique design helps stop friction to eliminate blisters and
hot spots. Fox River’s Wick Dry® socks keep feet dry and comfortable
under even the most strenuous conditions. Wick Dry® is a registered
trademark of Fox River Mills, Inc.
Wool is fleece from sheep. Its crimpy fibers create millions of air pockets,
making it a natural insulator. The long, exterior antistatic fibers repel water
and soil while the shorter, interior fibers absorb moisture vapor up to 30% of
the weight of wool before it feels damp. And wool retains 97% of its strength
when it’s wet.
X-STATIC®—The Silver Fiber™:
Helps eliminate odor naturally! X-STATIC®—The Silver Fiber™ is a
high-performance silver-coated textile fiber that naturally and permanently
inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi in our socks. Because
silver is also the most conductive element, X-STATIC® naturally
regulates temperature. X-STATIC® is safe and natural and will last
for the life of the product. X-STATIC® is a registered trademark of
Noble Fiber Technologies, Inc.
