X-Socks Ski Rider 2.0 | Alpine Skiing

TOP COMFORT, COMBINED WITH THE STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY The innovative comfort sock for passionate skiers. The high-quality material mix and specific protection zones support the foot in the compact ski boots. The proven X-SOCKS® ventilation system ensures dry and warm feet. Although the ski boots have evolved enormously in terms of comfort and weight, there are a few feet that do not quite fit in the boots. Discomforting pressure points and blisters follow thus. The hollow-chamber yarn Robur, processed at X-SOCKS®, with its damping effect, prevents these inconveniences. The developers also paid attention particularly to the sensitive area around the ankle integrating special pads so a day in ski boots is much more pleasant.

ANATOMICALLY SHAPED EFFEKTOR FOOTBED - The soles of the feet are covered by a particularly dense network of sensory receptors. As demonstrated very impressively by the reflexes stimulated when somebody tickles them. X-BIONIC® socks with Effektor Technology use these natural skin sensory functions on the soles of the feet and enhance them in a unique way. A controlled stimulus intensity is induced partly by compression above the stimulus threshold. The stimulation of partial areas generates a continuous stream of specific information which tells the brain to send messengers. These messengers play an essential role in the interaction of cells within an organism. They control the body's metabolic processes.

AIR-CONDITIONING CHANNEL® FOR X-SOCKS® - We positioned the Air-Conditioning Channel® under the arch of the foot, the area that normally does not touch the ground. It begins there and then moves along the foot up to the cuff. Covering only 30 % of the skin’s surface, it is constructed using a fine-knit mesh, so with every step, moist air is pumped out of the shoe and fresh air is drawn back in. An optimal air circulation system for the foot is now a reality: fresh air can even be circulated within a snug-fitting shoe.

AKTIV-­BUND® FOR X-BIONIC® - The Aktiv-Bund® adapts to any size of arm, leg and hip without slipping or constricting.
