X-SOCKS Ski
X-SOCKS Ski Alpine Silver
Silver, merino wool plus a comprehensive safety package to promote top performance.
Skiing is more than just swooshing down the piste looking cool. You also need
warm and, for all intents and purposes, well-protected feet.
That’s what the new X-SOCKS style achieves with its eight strategically placed
protectors from sole to shin, plus a special stabilising X-Cross® Bandage for
ankles. In addition, it offers the award-winning Sinofit™ footbed with a silver
content of 99.9-percent, acclaimed by an iF honour, that keeps feet hygenically
clean and odour-free – even in snug ski boots. The fine knit AirConditioning
Channel® in combination with the Traverse AirFlow Channel System™
promotes an effective exchange of fresh air all the way under the soles. At the
same time, fine merino wool provides pleasant warmth and comfort – all the
way up to the last swoosh.
