Ski socks

When doing winter sports it is very important to feel comfortable, so the choice of equipment is a serious matter. Many people think that you can wear any socks for skiing, but this is not so. It is necessary to select specialized models in which the athlete will not feel discomfort.

The ergonomic socks from X-Socks fully take into account the anatomical structure of the legs. In them it is very warm, besides legs practically do not get tired. The yarn is woven in a special way, so the products are durable, not wiped. Usually socks are divided into right and left.

There is no visible seam around the fingers, there are heat removal channels, support for the ankle, heel and shin protection.

Pro Heat heated socks from the manufacturer Sidas are equipped with low, medium and high heating mode. Suitable for fast freezing people and for riding in conditions of severe frost. The company also produces compression models to improve blood circulation and preserve heat.

The trademark Wed’ze produces inexpensive socks without cushioning. Models are divided into women, teenagers, children and men. The latter are higher than others.

Products must not only warm the foot, but also wipe off moisture. The following materials and their combinations are used for this:

• Polyester - is soft and has good fluid absorption properties.
• Nylon is a fairly durable material resistant to abrasion, provides a high level of heat.
• Elastane is a soft material that gives elasticity to products.
• Sometimes the wool of New Zealand sheep is added, but such socks dry for a long time, so skiing in them will not be very comfortable.

An important nuance is the mandatory presence of the antibacterial component. It will prevent the development of microbes, there will be no unpleasant smell. Merino wool effectively copes with this task.

Quality ski socks - this is the key to success and achievements in the field of skiing. When choosing products it is necessary to pay attention to:

• Density - it depends on comfort, the absence of corns. Ultra-thin and thin models are suitable for people who quickly sweat, for skiing from the mountains. Socks of medium thickness are the most common because they provide good energy transfer. Thick products are warm and durable, designed for tracking and novices.
• Size - it should be as accurate as possible. Smaller size will cause poor blood circulation, which is dangerous for health. Big socks in the boot twist - it will affect the speed of movement on skis, and also provoke pain and the appearance of corns.
• Softening zones are cushioning support inserts. Usually they are located in places of greater pressure on the leg: the area of ​​the leg, ankle.
