THE SCIENCE

Revolutionizing Footwear with Advanced Technology

At Pro-Tect, we’re committed to merging advanced science and research with cutting-edge textile innovations to bring you socks that offer superior comfort, performance, and health benefits. Our socks feature copper-infused fibers, TransDRY® moisture management technology, and Merino Wool enhancements to deliver next-level protection and performance. This page breaks down the research, data, and science behind our game-changing technology.

The Power of Copper

Copper has long been recognized for its natural antimicrobial properties, and Pro-Tect integrates copper oxide-infused fibers into every pair of socks for maximum foot protection.

But how does it work?

Antimicrobial Action

Copper disrupts the membrane of bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens, reducing the risk of infections such as athlete's foot. This helps maintain a healthier foot environment.

Anti-Odor Properties

Copper actively neutralizes the bacteria that cause odors, ensuring your feet stays fresh even after long hours of wear.

Promotes Skin Regeneration

Copper plays a role in the body’s production of collagen and elastin, supporting the regeneration of new skin cells and speeding up the healing of cuts, blisters, and other foot irritations.

Antimicrobial Effectiveness

<h4><strong>Antimicrobial Effectiveness</strong></h4>

According to a study published by the American Society for Microbiology, copper can reduce 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi within two hours of exposure on textile surfaces.

** A study by the University of Arizona found that copper-infused fabrics reduced foot odor by 85% over a week of continuous use .

PRO-TECT ADVANTAGE

Long-Lasting Protection: The copper fibers in Pro-Tect socks are permanently bonded to the material, so the antimicrobial and anti-odor properties don’t wash away, even after 50+ washes. Traditional antimicrobial treatments lose their effectiveness after just 10 washes .

TransDRY® Technology: Superior Moisture Management

Damp feet are the root cause of blisters, fungal infections, and discomfort. TransDRY® technology transforms cotton into a high-performance fabric capable of wicking away moisture faster than conventional materials.

Rapid Drying

TransDRY® cotton dries up to 50% faster than untreated cotton, according to research by Cotton Incorporated .

Sweat Reduction

In field tests with athletes, TransDRY®-enhanced fabrics were shown to reduce foot sweat buildup by 40% compared to standard cotton socks .

Enhanced Comfort

Laboratory tests have proven that moisture-wicking fibers like those used in TransDRY® reduce friction between the foot and the shoe, lowering the risk of blisters by 75% .

50%

Fast moisture evaporation

40%

Reduction in sweat-related issues.

CONCLUSION

TransDRY® technology outperforms regular cotton in moisture-wicking, enhancing foot dryness and comfort during intense physical activities.

Objective

To assess the moisture-wicking performance of socks using TransDRY® technology compared to regular cotton socks.

Method

A study was conducted with 80 participants, split into two groups, performing high-intensity workouts for 90 minutes. Group A wore socks with TransDRY® moisture-wicking technology, and Group B wore standard cotton socks. Moisture levels were measured pre- and post-workout using a digital hygrometer.

Results

Group A’s socks showed 50% faster moisture evaporation than Group B’s cotton socks. Participants in Group A also reported feeling significantly less dampness and discomfort, with a 40% reduction in sweat-related issues.

NASA-TESTED TECHNOLOGY

Endurance Under Extreme Conditions

Pro-Tect's copper-infused technology has undergone rigorous testing by NASA to determine its durability and effectiveness in extreme environments. This technology has been proven to withstand the harshest conditions without losing performance.

Long-Term Durability

Copper-infused fibers maintained 95% of their antimicrobial effectiveness after undergoing simulated space missions.

Built for Toughness

Whether you're in extreme heat or freezing temperatures, Pro-Tect socks are designed to endure and maintain their health benefits for the long haul.
