Are E-Zmate(TM) socks Sustainable Clothing?
Jun 12, 2026
Well, prime Merino wool is the principal content in our socks. And the annual shaving of sheep is a bit of a wrestling match but does provide them with a nice life style. We don't use cotton because it absorbs moisture and the fibers crush and crease from foot perspiration and pressure so it is a really bad material for socks. At Climatesox.com, our E-Zmates use a revolutionary, built-in linking system that eliminates time-wasting sock sorting and money- and clothing-wasting mate loss. It also promotes hang drying which avoids dryer heat damaging the elastic fibers allowing socks to fit and last longer. If several 100,000 wearers further hand dry entire laundry loads, they save the energy equivalent to the output of a medium-sized windfarm ( 20 2Mw turbines) without the cost of building and maintaining a windfarm. That's so sustainable in our book that we developed our logo around the idea of ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT.
