RedHead CoolMax Liner SockFor those of you that have never heard of CoolMax, you're missing out on an outstanding fabric for active-wear clothing.
Blisters and sweat. These are the curse of anyone that, well . . . wears shoes. But hikers, hunters and campers have all been plagued with these symptoms and there didn't use to be anything they could do about it -- except to stop hiking around the outdoors. But we all know that's not going to happen, so thankfully RedHead and DuPont has brought us an answer.
The reason we get blisters on our feet is because something is rubbing against a part of our foot for an extended period of time. This is usually caused by ill-fitting footwear, which doesn't fit snug enough to the foot. And it doesn't matter how many thick socks you wear, because even a thick sock rubbing against your heel will give you a quality-sized blister, and if your socks are thick, your feet are going to sweat up a storm which will most likely result in a rash -- or just really stinky feet.
Partly made with nylon and spandex, the RedHead CoolMax Liner Sock is built to prevent the above offenses. The sock fits snug around the foot without being constrictive and protects the foot against nasty blisters. Now, you're probably wondering about how warm these socks get when you're hiking during the august heat. This is where the other material comes in DuPont CoolMax. For those of you that have never heard of CoolMax, you're missing out on an outstanding fabric for active-wear clothing.
Basically DuPont CoolMax is a high-performance fabric built for active people. Using DuPont's proprietary Dacron fibers, CoolMax moves sweat away from the body to the outer layer of the fabric, where it dries faster than any other fabric.
Sweat saps your strength. Better evaporation means you spend less energy to cool your body, which increases your performance and endurance. And because CoolMax is extremely breathable, its very comfortable to wear.
I wore the socks on a couple of hikes and I enjoyed their comfortable feel, and I believe they helped prevent blisters. One of my favorite local trails is a fairly short 5-mile trek, but most of it is up and down hills. Usually I come out with a blister on my heel, no matter what I do, but with the RedHead CoolMax socks my heel didn't even get sore. So if you do a lot of hiking, running or walking, get a pair of these RedHead liner socks and your feet will thank you.
