Less a pair of socks, and more ‘high-tech interfaces for the feet’ – which means X-Socks Ski Control 2.0 Skiing Socks are carefully engineered to transmit the force of the wearer’s movements and intentions swiftly and directly to the ski, while still providing the best protection. These knee-length socks try to mimic the reactions and climate that bare feet would have, making them as reactive and breathable as possible. The construction, from cashmere-soft, high performance Xitaloft, able to repel moisture and reduce pressure against the skin; impact absorbing Robur, a hollow core fibre that gives the protective pads their resistance, and breathable Mythlan, to optimise the evaporation of moisture. In total, X-Socks Ski Control 2.0 Skiing Socks have 15 patented ways to protect feet and legs, including self-adjusting cuffs, X-Cross Bandage for ankle stability, several protector pads scattered throughout the socks at precise zones, anatomically shaped footbeds and ISO blocker system, keeping cold air away, reducing pressure points and ventilating the mid-area.
