The Winter Wool Sock places terry loop padding across the footbed and up over the toes, right where a cold ride does the most damage. The merino blend holds warmth without trapping heat, and nylon woven through the high-wear zones keeps the sock from breaking down season after season. We reach for these the moment temperatures drop enough to make foot warmth part of the ride plan. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I laced my shoes the same as always and never felt the extra padding, just warmer toes by the second mile."
