Product detailed description

Ankle cycling socks Karpathia®GT In order for your cycling trip to have the hallmarks of a professional cycling performance, your clothing needs to have certain features. It's important that your clothing effectively transfers heat and moisture away from your skin to the outdoors, or another absorbent layer. This can only be achieved by using functional materials that effectively wick away sweat while keeping you warm. It is not advisable to use garments made of wool and cotton materials, which are not suitable for cycling, for such physically demanding activities. Just as the choice of material is important, so is the choice of the right cycling fit. In order to give the cyclist as little air resistance as possible, it is advisable that the cut follows the curves of the body, emphasises the elongated position of the cyclist's body and when riding, and does not have pronounced seams that could chafe the cyclist. Our Karpathia®GT ankle cycling socks stimulate your athletic performance with several functional zones of the sock.
