The Science Behind Laetts: A Layered System of Performance Technologies

At Laetts, warmth starts with science. Our patented HygroHeat™ technology forms the foundation of nearly every sock we make — a powerful Far Infrared (FIR) thermal system engineered directly into the yarn. But we don’t stop at heat.

Building on HygroHeat™, we created the Laetts Merino Thermal Sock System — a next-generation material blend that merges nature’s best fiber with performance-driven insulation. The result is a new class of socks that outperform traditional Merino and conventional thermal gear in every condition.

From there, we layer in other smart innovations:

  • BootGlide™ our patented friction-reducing system, makes boots easier to get on and off.
  • Compression supports circulation, reduces fatigue, and enhances recovery — especially when combined with warmth.

Each technology is thoughtfully engineered, often working in tandem. Whether you're carving down slopes, fly fishing in icy streams, or riding through cold wind, Laetts socks are designed to keep you warm, supported, and ready for whatever lies ahead.

HygroHeat™

keeps your feet warm by reflecting and amplifying your natural body heat. The ceramic particles ensure a dry, warm, and odor-free experience, whether you're facing freezing temperatures on the slopes or hiking in the cold.
