During my journey on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, choosing the right socks was a crucial factor to ensure comfort and prevent blisters<\/a>. In addition to Injinji toe socks, I used Lorpen T3 Light Hiker Eco socks, a brand known for its advanced technology and high quality. I will share details about Lorpen, the T3 technology, and my personal experience with these socks during the 35 days of walking.<\/p>\n

My story with the Lorpen brand<\/h2>\n

In 2010, I started managing the Lorpen brand in Brazil. During this period, I studied in depth the technology and quality of the products, and I was impressed by the raw materials used, such as Tencel, merino wool, Coolmax and Primaloft, as well as the knitting technologies applied to the socks. At that time, the technology now known as T3 was called TriLayer, being a major differentiator compared to other sock brands worldwide. Lorpen also had the Life Fit technology, which provided much more comfort due to the differentiated knitting of the socks. This technology is still present in Lorpen socks in four aspects: elasticity and adaptability, flat seam, different densities, and resistance and durability.<\/p>\n

In Brazil, I developed some actions with the brand, including the campaign “Meus p\u00e9s tamb\u00e9m vieram” (“My feet also came”), a photography contest that engaged consumers to share their outdoor experiences using Lorpen socks.<\/p>\n
