Materials and construction

Declared composition: 68% cotton, 19% nylon, 10% polyester, 3% elastane. Always check the label of the product you receive for the composition and care instructions.

Fit and sizes

The item is available in sizes S/M, L/XL. To choose your size compare your measurements with the manufacturer’s size chart and consider whether you will wear it over or under other layers; if you are between two sizes, contact us before buying and we will help you pick the most suitable one.

Who it is for

These socks are made for trail and enduro mountain biking, for riders who want targeted padding on exposed areas such as shin and heel.

Care and maintenance

Wash the garment following the care label, at a moderate temperature, inside out and without fabric softener, which can reduce the breathability of technical fabrics. Do not use bleach and do not iron printed or rubberised parts directly. Let it air dry away from direct heat to keep its shape, colours and stretch over time.

Why choose it

A bike or off-road garment must allow freedom of movement, manage sweat and stand up to hard use in dust, mud and frequent washing. Fabrics, cut and seams are designed to follow the rider in an active position. Good garments last season after season when they are washed correctly and fit properly, so it pays to choose the size and the colour carefully before ordering.

Technical garments work best when combined with consistent layers: a breathable base layer, the jersey or jacket suited to the season and, if needed, light protection worn under or over, to stay dry and free to move for the whole ride.

If you need help choosing between colours and sizes, our team is happy to answer your questions before you buy.

A practical tip: if you prefer a closer fit choose the size nearest to your measurements; if you want a looser cut, or need to wear protection underneath, consider the next size up. Always check the size chart before ordering, since cuts can differ from one line to another. If you are unsure about the fit, write to us before ordering: with your height and weight we can suggest the size best suited to the way you ride.
