Poor design of sock

These socks have a different weave above the ankle. This weave is rough on the skin and after a day of snowboarding rubbed a raw spot on the back of my calf similar to a rug burn. Would not advise getting these socks.

Hi Jon, you might want to checkout a snowboard-specific sock like Euro Socks' Silver Board Zone Snowboard Sock. They are specifically designed for Snowboarders - they are padded and woven to protect both the shin and calf/ankle areas, so you're covered when pressuring either your heel or toe-side edge. Ski-specific socks like these only have padding in front - great for skiers using their skins to drive their skis, but typically not the best option for snowboarders.
