Synthetic socks
Synthetic fiber socks such as polyester and nylon possess the characteristics of quick perspiration and abrasion resistance, which can discharge sweat quickly. But their breathability is limited, in high-intensity exercise, the foot heat can not be quickly released, easy to form a hot foot environment, and synthetic fiber friction is easy to produce static electricity.

Bamboo fiber contains some natural antibacterial components, with excellent anti-bacterial and anti-odor function, and smooth, delicate touch, is the ideal choice for hot weather socks.
However, bamboo fiber is slightly less durable and is prone to wear and shrinkage after frequent use and washing.
Wool socks
Wool socks, as one of the choices for people's winter socks, are suitable for hot weather? Ordinary wool has a certain degree of moisture absorption and perspiration performance and temperature regulation ability, but not for hot weather. And the king of wool exists - merino wool, can quickly absorb moisture and sweat, keep feet dry, suitable for hot summer. However, some people may have allergic reactions to wool fibers.
Alpaca socks
Alpaca fibers are hollow inside with super breathability, and the natural fiber cavities can quickly discharge heat and keep your feet cool. At the same time, alpaca socks have 3 times the moisture wicking performance of ordinary wool, which can quickly absorb sweat and discharge. Alpaca wool has natural anti-bacterial properties that keep feet fresh and comfortable for a long time.
