X-Socks Ski Adrenaline Sinofit Sock - Men's

X-Socks designed the Men's Ski Adrenaline Sinofit Sock for skiers who push their limits in extreme conditions. The Sinofit system, featuring anti-microbial Silver NODOR fibers, offers the highest surface area of silver (99.9%) of any knit yarn construction on the market. The direct contact between silver ions and your skin retards the growth of unwanted bacteria, like athlete's foot, without destroying the desirable natural bacterial environment of healthy skin. AirConditioning Channels, in conjunction with the Traverse AirFlow Channel system, utilize your movement to keep your foot cooled and bathed in fresh air to prevent blisters and reduce the onset of swelling and fatigue. Vertical-rod ankle padding and a large-area shin protector provide additional support and protection against the dreaded shin bang without impeding the airflow around your foot. Instep, heel, toe, outer ankle, and Achilles protectors all buffer your foot from the specific forces generated by aggressive skiing. As with all X-Socks, the Ski Adrenaline sock features an X-Cross bandage that supports and protects the crucial muscles, tendons, and ligaments around your ankle.

Bottom Line: Ski longer, reduce fatigue and the risk of injury, and stop bacterial-induced liner rot with the Ski Adrenaline sock.

I never thought I would pay so much for a ski sock, but these are worth it. I bought my first pair this year when I forgot my ski socks. I couldn't believe the difference. Not only are they really warm, but they help prevent rubbing and shin bang. They are great for shredding on the hill and hiking in the backcountry. I have since purchased two more pairs.

No matter what boot or ski socks I have used in the past I have

No matter what boot or ski socks I have used in the past I have gotten shin bang. I think it is from the seam created between the long underwear and the ski sock. It seems like the only way to avoid it is to have ski socks that double as long underwear or long underwear with footies. How do other people overcome this issue with the seam? Thanks.

Only socks go in your boots,,,periodI had this same problem a few years ago. Its not the socks... check out your boot flex. If you are an advanced skier and you are using a low flex boot (80-100) then you will get shin bang. This happened when I went from an intermediate skier with older flexier boots to a more advanced skier. I upgraded to 120 flex boots and it did the trick. No more shin bang.

Great socks

When I realized that my favorite hiking socks came in a ski version, I took a deep breath and bought a pair of the Adrenalin Sinofit. Then I bought three more pair - for trips I like to have a pair to wear, two drying in the room and one in reserve. Big investment, but they make the boot fit easier to dial in and they wick moisture well, so my feet stay warmer throughout the day.

Shin bang comes in two flavors: season-long (see the comments about boot flex); and beginning of season only. The culprit on the first day(s) is stiction; the skin sticks to the sock and the sock sticks to the boot tongue. Solution: take a thin ziploc sandwich bag, add a tablespoon of talcum powder, close it, expelling most of the air and, using first aid tape around the whole sock, tape it to your calf above the boot top so that it hangs down in front of your shin in the boot. The baggie sticks to the sock and to the boot tongue, but the talc provides a nearly friction-free buffer. For most of us we need this helpful accessory only for the first day or two of the season.

These are really great socks - no hot or cold spots, and the sock comes way up the calf, eliminating any problem with boots - well worth the money!
