Most urban cyclists try to find the smoothest, least potholed road routes they can, but for mountain bikers, it's the absolute opposite - the rougher the going, the better. That, in turn, means that you need better protection from whipping branches, harsh undergrowth and ripping thorns. X-Socks Mountain Biking Socks are all around protectors, providing effective protection without compromising performance or limiting movement. X-Socks Mountain Biking Socks use tough, hollow core Robur-reinforced padding to guard the shins and ankles against injuries, either from the terrain or from abrasion caused by impact, should you come off mid-ride. Duckbill Shaped Footguards pad the toes, instep and balls of the feet against the particular strains created by attacking a hill or during high intensity sprints. All this protection is designed to be low bulk, so available space within your sports shoes isn't unduly compromised. And with dynamically regulated stretch ribs, the fit is always perfect. These feature-packed specialist sport socks also incorporate self-adjusting cuffs, supportive X-Cross bandages, asymmetric, anatomically shaped foot beds, and air conditioning channels to help control the microclimate in your shoe. A fabric combination including SkinNODOR and Mythlan keeps odour-causing bacteria and skin allergies at bay.
