Breathable Cotton Sock – A Revolutionary Achievement

Avid sports performers and occasional exercisers can step it up a notch, thanks to the combined efforts of Unifi Inc. and Gold Toe Brands Inc.

Sorbtek, a revolutionary performance yarn developed by Unifi, has been incorporated into Gold Toe Gear socks, the company’s technical brand for the sporting goods market. The new Gold Toe Gear socks with Sorbtek will offer moisture management technology, breathability and footprint cushioning.

With its innovative catch, move and release system, Sorbtek yarns move moisture faster and further than any other yarn, keeping the skin comfortable and dry. Sorbtek’s unique formula is permanently integrated into the molecular structure of the yarn, thereby allowing its moisture management capabilities to last over the life of the hosiery.

Partnering with one of the leading branded sock manufacturers in the U.S. allows us to showcase our performance-added products to a new audience, said Kimberley Lewis, manager, brand and retail marketing for Unifi. We believe once consumers experience Sorbtek, they will not want to return to ordinary cotton socks when working outdoors, exercising or participating in leisure activities.

Gold Toe Gear socks with Sorbtek are available in three styles for men and three for women: the Dart Low Cut, the Jambe Quarter and the Axis Crew. All styles feature Sorbtek’s catch, move and release innovation.

With millions of people in the U.S. participating in everything from yoga to mountain biking, our customers demand quality, comfort and performance from their sports apparel to meet their active lifestyle needs, said John Hoskins, director of marketing, Gold Toe. Adding Sorbtek to our socks allows us to deliver a superior product with moisture management capabilities.

Sorbtek yarns are available in polyester and nylon, and offer stain release protection, shrink resistance, fabric breathability and anti-static properties.

Gold Toe Gear socks with Sorbtek are available at Just for Feet, The Sports Authority, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Academy Sports and Galyan’s.

End-use applications for Sorbtek yarns include, but are not limited to: performance and intimate apparel, hosiery and socks, home furnishings, industrial and medical textiles.
