What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on a long spring tour with a lot of boot packing, and the silicone heel grippers and achilles band kept the sock from shifting even on the steepest sections. My feet stayed dry and blister free the whole way up, and the zero cushion profile meant my boot fit exactly like it should."Somewhere past the skin track, when the boot pack gets steep and the pace slows to a scramble, the Le Bent Elyse Saugstad Pro Series Sock earns its reputation. Built with input from a skier who spends her days chasing sculpted peaks and shadowed chutes, this sock is designed for the exact moment when fit and comfort matter most, deep into a long tour with miles still ahead. The Signature Merino Blend of merino wool and rayon from bamboo regulates temperature and resists odor no matter how long the day runs, while the Definitive Fit System and Memory Stretch mold precisely to the foot for a true zero cushion feel inside the boot. Silicone grippers at the heel and calf, paired with an achilles support band, keep the sock locked in place through every step of the climb, so blisters and hot spots stay out of the picture entirely.
