From Assos:
A supportive midweight sock for cold, low-light winter rides.
Description:
Winter riding calls for socks that are comfortable, supportive, insulating, and include an element of visibility. To meet these requirements, we landed on a unique cotton-wrapped elastomer blend that yields a light compressive hold and moderate insulation along the foot, ankle, and lower leg using our seamless construction. This blend creates a knit that effectively insulates and transfers moisture through the yarns to the outer surface, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable inside your shoes. From there we targeted the arch, wrapping it with a ribbed band for further support and boosted breathability, along with a contrasting reflective band along the Achilles for added visibility in low-light conditions. The blue winter climaCode is now a prominent visual cue for layering and also assists in wardrobe organization.
Technology:
STL: Short for Spot The Light, these light-absorbing polyester yarns have been developed with photoluminescent pigment in order to remain luminous in the absence of light.
Ribbed Arch: 360-degree ribbed band along the arch keeps the foot comfortably supported within the shoe.
Seamless Construction: Absent of exposed seams, this construction provides a seamless wrap on the foot for the ultimate in friction-free comfort.
Composition: 60% polyester, 20% polyamide, 16% cotton, 4% elastane
