Smartwool Ski TC Patterned OTC Socks - Green

Merino wool is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating, and odor-resistant. It keeps feet warm in the cold and helps manage sweat to prevent dampness, which is crucial for comfort in ski boots.

This system uses elasticized yarns in two zones (around the ankle and the top of the sock) to create a supportive stretch. This helps the sock conform to your foot and leg shape, preventing slippage and bunching inside your boots.

Indestructawool™ technology is a patent-pending construction method that adds durability in high-wear areas, such as the heel and toe, significantly extending the lifespan of the sock.

While designed for skiing, their warmth, cushioning, and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for other cold-weather activities like snowboarding, or even very cold hiking or winter sports.

It's generally recommended to wash ski socks after each use to maintain hygiene and performance. Follow the specific care instructions provided to preserve the fabric's properties.

The blend of Merino wool and body-mapped mesh zones is designed to actively wick moisture away from the skin and promote airflow, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable, rather than sweaty.

These are Over-The-Calf (OTC) socks, meaning they are designed to extend up to just below the knee, providing coverage and preventing a gap between the sock and ski boot pant.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4 Degree™ Elite Fit System is designed to hold the sock in place, but an incorrect size can compromise this. Ensure the cuff is sitting correctly and not bunching.

While Merino wool is breathable, in very mild conditions or during intense exertion, overheating can occur. Consider using them in colder temperatures or ensure your ski boots are providing adequate ventilation.

The wider welt is designed for comfort, but individual leg shapes vary. Try adjusting the position of the sock or ensure it is not pulled excessively tight. Washing may also soften the material slightly.

While Indestructawool™ and Shred Shield™ technologies enhance durability, ensure your ski boots do not have any rough internal seams or plastic edges that could cause premature wear. Follow care instructions carefully.
