The Khaki Green Operators version has been co-developed by Operators Skincare and Armaskin in Australia for the benefit of Operators beloved feet.
They are a must-have for all Operators training for or attending selection course for Special Forces, trail runners, floorball, badminton, squash, orienteering competitions, or runners participating in grueling ultra running competitions.
The secret to the ArmaSkin break-through in Anti-Blister performance is the Si Fusion fabric that provides a slightly sticky Silicon layer next to the skin.
This fabric was designed and created by ArmaSkin after years of research and testing. Operators ArmaSkin prevent the conditions that contribute to blisters; friction on the skin, skin weakening moisture, destructive heat and shear forces between skin layers.
The unique features are:
- The short version fits perfectly into low cut boots, running and sports shoes and football boots.
- The inner surface of the sock has a silicone (Si) polymer friction coating which gently adheres to the skin and prevents any friction that can occur naturally between socks and skin. Any friction generated in the boot/shoe is absorbed by the outer fabric.
- The polymer coating is macro porous and hydrophobic (water hating) therefore shifts moisture away from the skin keeping it drier.
- Perfect for running in the rain/wet conditions or snow.
- Better heat dissipation is achieved thanks to the hydrophobic/hydrophilic moisture management. i.e one side of the fabric is water hating the other side is water loving.
- The Si fusion polymer coating gently adheres to the skin and importantly shares skin shear forces across wider surface areas of skin thus reducing damage.
- The Silicon fusion polymer is bacteria static so the socks can be worn for prolonged periods of time
- Wash them with your normal clothes but avoid using bleach, fabric softener or sending them to the dry cleaners
- As a guide you can expect minimum 500 km blisters free movement if you follow our wear and care instructions.
- Remark!: It is very important that your roll your anti blister socks gently onto your foot (see instruction video) taking care to avoid pulling and stretching the fabric. Overstretching the fabric will destroy the unique features of the anti blister socks.
- Materials: Polyester 17%, Spandex 16% and Silicone 5%
