            "content": "Hello Thomas,\n\nThank you for your questions regarding the merino-blend with terry cushion zones. Here are the details you requested:\n\n1. **Standard Fiber Composition**: For trail and ultra-trail use, our typical composition is approximately 60% Merino wool, 30% synthetic fibers (such as nylon or polyester), and 10% elastane. This blend provides a good balance of comfort, durability, and stretch.\n\n2. **Durability Feedback**: The merino-blend construction holds up well in high-friction zones such as the heel and toe. Compared to a fully synthetic construction, the merino blend tends to offer better moisture management and odor resistance, which can enhance comfort during extended use. However, fully synthetic options may provide slightly higher durability in extreme conditions. We recommend the merino blend for its overall comfort and performance in trail running.\n\n3. **Quotation for 1,000 Units**: Accurate pricing can only be provided after our technical team analyzes the specific details of your Tech Pack or Physical Sample. However, I can confirm that the lead time for production is typically around 10-14 weeks after order placement, with an additional 6-8 weeks for sampling.\n\nPlease let me know if you have a Tech Pack or a Physical Sample to send us, or if you need any further information.
