X-Socks

SPEED METAL

 

** Speed Metals are the 'hot weather' socks of the range - using a newly-developed yarn called Xitanit, they quickly transfer heat and moisture away from the foot - perfect for races like the MdS, Atacama Crossing etc, and three days of British summer.

 

Every now and then, a piece of kit arrives that you soon can't imagine being without... X-Socks fall firmly into that category.

Amanda's been using them since 2005 - I stubbornly refused to pay more than £10 for a pair of socks ("I can buy three pairs at that price!!" etc etc), right up to the point she bought me some for Christmas.  And now I'm hooked.

X-Socks are, quite simply, the best socks either of us have ever worn - by some margin.  They incorporate all sorts of technology (see link below), but the gist of it is that they keep air flowing around the foot - removing heat and moisture, and encouraging fresh air to circulate.  They have heel protectors, toe protectors, ankle stabilisers and cooling channels - but the bottom line is that they really work.  Result? Happy feet - blister-free, hot-spot free, drier, less wrinkly and less damaged feet... even after ultra-marathon distances in off-road conditions.  Yes, they're more expensive than other socks, but they're worth every penny - believe us!

Inside-Out

We reckon X-Bionic's Speed Metal is a great choice for the MdS or summer racing.  Their innovative Xitanit silver fibre is also used in the X Bionic Fennec top.

X Bionic's USP is their combination of fibre type & weave contruction to aid temperature control.  An appropriate amount of compression is encorparated to help blood flow - too much compression can actually restrict blood flow & slow down recovery!
