Press Information 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.
