Partners & Friends
I couldn't do what I do without the support of some of the nicest folks on Earth. Some of them have been my sponsors for as long as I can remember and some of them are quite new.
But it doesn't matter whether they're old or new sponsors. These people are making it all possible and for that I'm very grateful to them:

Lorpen
In 1985 a small company from Navarra set out on a global venture starting from just socks. Then 10 years ago, in 1997, the company made a clear shift towards the specialized world of the technical sports sock. In the Basque language LORPEN means achievement, and is known throughout 50 countries and across 5 continents. An evident bet on technical and technological advancement in the field of sports socks has allowed LORPEN to manufacture the most well know technical socks on the market.
