Thorlo Experia Wool/Silk Sock Review

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We tested Thorlo’s Experia socks with CoolMax last year and we were excited to try out Thorlo’s latest addition, the Experia with merino and silk, which will be released next month. The Experia is a line of thin padding socks that are geared towards athletes that want light padding in the high pressure areas, but do not want to sacrifice breathability and moisture management during high intensity exercise. Merino wool is a natural-sustainable fiber that provides wicking while remaining extremely comfortable. We tested the Experia with merino wool on 2-plus -hour long runs and were amazed at the comfort of the sock and we didn’t find ourselves thinking about our feet while on the move (a good sign when you have been working hard and your mind starts to wander!) The Experia is easy to care for and can be washed and worn again and again without any residual stink. We look forward to wearing the merino/silk Experia during a spring marathon and countless other endeavors! For more information, please visit Thorlo.com

Shannon, our fabulous female tester, takes gear testing to a new level for women. When not at work or school, she is most likely training for a marathon, climbing one of Colorado’s tallest peaks, riding her road bike, or skiing down a mountain slope. Like many women, Shannon gets cold easily, therefore, we try to test the best all weather gear to help her stay warm and dry during all day outdoor pursuits. In the warmer months, Shannon enjoys exploring the Colorado backcountry with her friends and dogs and attempts to escape for as many trail runs as her schedule allows. Shannon is a great women’s tester because she gives readers true insight into how a product may perform for an active woman.
