This provides excellent coverage, sealing the gap between your bib tights and shoes to lock out cold drafts and protect your ankles. The Merino wool blend is not only warm but also excels at moisture management, wicking sweat away from your skin to keep your feet dry, comfortable, and regulated across a wide range of temperatures and efforts. This natural breathability is key to preventing the clammy, cold feeling that can occur during intense intervals or long climbs. Furthermore, the blend enhances durability, ensuring these wool socks will be a staple in your cycling wardrobe for many seasons to come.Whether you´re heading out for a crisp morning training session or an all-day epic in variable conditions, the Castelli Bandito Merino 18 Socks are your go-to choice for uncompromised comfort and performance.PRODUCT FEATURES:Merino wool blend for warmth and durability.Thin construction like a summer sock for a close fit in the shoe but with the warmth of merino wool 18 cm cuff.Technical Specifications:* Cuff Height: 18 cm* Recommended Temperature Range: 0°-12°C / 32°-54°F* Fit: Performance, close-to-skin* Gender: Unisex (Men, Women)* Primary Material: Wool Blend
