The 8 Defend Syndicate Socks are trail-ready socks built for demanding rides and whatever the day can throw at them. These high cushion socks provide compression arch support and with trail-specific cushioning at the heel, toe, and shin, all-day comfort is assured. The flat stitch toe construction stops chaffing and irritation while you ride, and with the rib-knit upper, they'll stay up as long as you do.
