Light in weight, but not in features, X-Socks Ski Alpine Skiing Socks are chock full with advanced fabric technology to provide skiers with superior performance, comfort and support. The socks use a mixture of the Swiss company’s own developments of technical fibres and yarns, paramount amongst these for this particular style being Merlyic, a sophisticated and soft blend of Merino wool and acrylic. SkinNODOR and Mythlanhelp to keep feet bacteria and allergy-free. Ergonomically designed to fit your feet perfectly, an anatomically shaped footbed provides customised left and right foot support, while a self-adjusting cuff gives these socks a secure yet non-constricting fit. Stressed muscles, tendons and joints at the ankle are relieved by the X-cross bandage’s unique crossover bands to provide stability, without compromising on freedom of movement. Shock absorbing cushioning is placed at all points where friction, shock or pressure could threaten the health of legs and feet, including shins, calves, Achilles tendons, insteps, heels and toe. The contoured, impact-absorbing protectors are made of hollow-core Robur fibres to cushion and protect. Advanced air conditioning throughout circulates air to keep feet dry and at a controlled temperature.
