Don’t Inhale These Weed Socks: Thermal Regulation of Hemp and Cotton Socks
Humans have adapted to have areas on their body that are especially suited for releasing heat to keep you cold. In these areas, there is a high volume of blood flow, and that blood passes very close to the skin. One of these areas is the toes. So, with our body great at thermal regulating, our socks should be too!
Today we will be doing the first series of tests for the hemp sock: thermal regulation. The hemp sock is known to have many amazing properties similar to bamboo like being odor resistant, wicking, and thermal regulating. But are these rumors really true? We are here to find out!
Today we will be placing both the hemp and cotton socks in boiling water and will be seeing which one stops steaming quicker. This will show us which one can dispose of the heat faster, making it thermal regulating.
Thermal Regulation is how fast the sock can dispose of heat. This means that when the sock heats up, for example being placed in boiling water, the faster it can cool down, the better thermal regulating it is. Seedve, Road Runner Sports, Milestone Running Shop, Biking, Running.
