Description
Running long distances on uneven debris-laden trails in harsh conditions can be very challenging experiencing variables that don't exist on roads and tracks. Because of this and at the request of many trail runners, we engineered our toughest sock in the line; the Maximum Protection Trail Running sock. This sock uses the same anti-friction PTFE technology as the Maximum Protection Running sock, but we added several Trail Specific features.
Our Maximum Protection Trail Running socks are race-proven in hot, dry, and severe wet conditions to help prevent foot blisters during trail marathons and ultra-long distance trail runs. There are no vents in the sock, reducing debris from irritating the foot. The 1/4 Crew leg is double thick and can fold down to offer a mini crew option that is four layers thick. Running blister-free, runners can lower their times, increase their mileage, and have a lot more fun.
Iconic ultrarunner Ellie Greenwood wore this sock to set the WOMAN’S COURSE RECORD at the iconic WESTERN STATES 100 MILE ENDURANCE RUN suffering zero blisters in a stunning time of 16hrs, 47 min, 19 seconds.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Machine Wash warm with like colors. To whiten socks, use bleach alternatives. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron.
Do not use fabric softeners; they leave a residual coating on fibers and fabrics, preventing them from performing as designed. To remove fabric softeners, simply launder with detergent and rinse.
Do not use Chlorine Bleach.
Do not use skin lubricants.
29% Drymax/Olefin, 27% Polyester, 4% Elastane, 3% Nylon, 37% PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
SPECIAL NOTICE: These socks are designed for extreme, extended outdoor use by professional mountaineers, ultrarunners, and experts to protect wearers' health and safety in very wet, extreme conditions and over long distances. It is not designed for general consumer use.
Why our ePTFE is Safe:
-
- Inertness and size: PTFE is a high-molecular-weight, solid, chemically inert polymer. It does not degrade into smaller, more mobile PFAS under normal conditions and is not water-soluble.
- Non-bioavailability: Due to its size and inertness, PTFE is not bioavailable. It does not accumulate in the body, interact with cells, or be easily absorbed. This distinguishes it from smaller, more mobile PFAS that pose greater health and environmental concerns.
- Low concern for toxicity: Scientific and regulatory bodies, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), have classified fluoropolymers such as PTFE as "polymers of low concern" because their properties make them low risk to human health and the environment.
