Protect your feet and lower legs from the hazards of the trail with the GORE ALP-X SOCKS. Made from moisture-wicking Coolmax fabric, the ALP-X SOCKS are a medium weave specifically designed to manage sweat while keeping grit and dirt out. Anatomically designed, the sock is structured according to different needs that the various parts of the foot has. A high-rise cuff helps protect the ankle while a protective layer for toes in Cordura provides impact protection and reduces wear and tear. Feet dont stink because of the Anti-bacterial protection provided by the X-Static pure silver fiber, and a beefier heel provides excellent shock-absorption. A special section above the heel of the sock protects the Achilles tendon, and a special zone under the toes provides excellent ventilation in this high-sweat area. The GORE ALP-X SOCKS are carefully engineered from heel to toe for the mountain bike enthusiast.
