X20295 - X-Socks Ski Metal Skiing Socks
Picked in December 2010 Daily Mail Ski & Snowboard magazine as one of the top ski socks
Mere contact with the skin is enough to activate this sock's revolutionary and unusual means of warming feet: heat conservation by means of XitanitTM - an innovative fabric with metallic shimmers. Heat is reflected on the XitanitTM surface and then directed back to the heat source; namely, your feet. The heat generated is pleasantly toasty yet within a natural temperature range. You're already familiar with the principle, which works just like the ultra-thin metal foils used in accidents to prevent the body from going into hypothermia. The specially developed XitanitTM fabric is made of baby-fine merino wool that conserves heat effectively. At the same time, there is no accumulation effect and thus no danger of getting too warm and overheating in your ski boots.
