Silca Aero Socks Black, XL(45-48)

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I was honestly skeptical about aero socks making a measurable difference until I started paying closer attention to my power numbers on familiar segments while wearing the Silca Aero Socks. The comfort alone would have sold me since the Q-Skin material is genuinely unlike anything else I have worn on the bike, but knowing I am also getting 4 to 8 watts back without any extra effort makes them impossible to take off.""Most free watts require a significant investment in a new frame, a new wheel, or a wind tunnel session. The Silca Aero Socks ask only that you put on a better pair of socks, and hand back somewhere between 4 and 8 watts in return. Silca worked with one of Italy's most respected sock manufacturers to build a sock that earns its aero claims without sacrificing anything you expect from a great cycling sock. The Q-Skin silver ion infused polyamide is softer and more moisture controlled than standard cycling sock yarns, and the no toe seam construction means there is nothing to distract you over long miles. The 19. 5cm cuff sits right at the UCI limit for most riders, and the combination of a smooth frontal surface and three rows of turbulators does the aerodynamic work quietly and effectively."
