Active compression wear specialist CEP has launched a new range of ultra-lightweight and functional running apparel, headlined by its new and improved Run Socks.
CEP’s new Run Sock collection includes five products to suit a range of needs – from knee-high socks to calf sleeves, mid-cut, low cut, and no show socks.
According to the company… ‘Each product is packed with intelligent features to improve performance, reduce fatigue, and provide unbeatable comfort. CEP’s compression technology stimulates blood flow, reduces muscle vibrations, and improves stability while the clever anatomical design provides active shock absorption and prevents blisters.’
The socks and calf sleeves feature apparel technologies such as Smart Dry Extreme Air Technology, Feran ICP, HeiQ, and Silver Treatment.
- Smart Dry Extreme Air Technology adapts to changing weather conditions. On hot days, the channel cross-section in the calf zone promotes the wicking of sweat from the skin to the surface of the fabric where excess moisture can evaporate more quickly to keep the skin dry. On cold days, the channel cross-section traps air to additionally insulate the zone from the outside cold.
- Feran ICP is a high-performance concentrate that provides sweat-wicking and fast-drying qualities – key for keeping feet dry and comfortable and preventing chafing or blisters.
- HeiQ technology provides cooling and breathability, cooling skin surface temperature by up to 2°C/3.5°F.
- Silver Treatment provides an antibacterial effect and helps to reduce unpleasant odours.
As part of its wider run collection, CEP is also adding a range of non-compression ultra-light tights and shorts (featuring TIGHTFIT Technology), shirts, along with new colours in its tank tops, race-fit shorts, caps and visors.
Annemarie Boehm, International Business Developer at CEP, said “Our new run collection enables us to become a toe-to-top active brand, with compression technology still at its heart.
“We want to provide the complete package for athletes with a range of products to suit every need and advanced technology to allow them to achieve their best performance.”
