As expected the POWWWER Socks tested strongest in most categories apart from recovery. The last parameter obviously suffers from power output and strength on the other parameters. Logically heart-rate (bpm), velocity (km/h) and strain increased significantly with maximum power output (watt) - all fueled by maximum energy consumption (kcal). This would be the model we recommend our athletes on race-day when it all comes down to maximizing your numbers.
As cyclists we all know the feel of wearing a fresh pair of white socks. That bit of extra motivation making you go faster than initially expected.
To understand and further examine if white socks are really faster we conducted a pseudo-scientific study testing eight different pairs of white socks. The different words and symbols on each pair will provide a highly non-scientific framework to whatever ride or activity you have in mind.
FINGERSCROSSED AERO is a sock made from a combination of nylon & elastane. The structure of the upper part of the sock ensures maximum aerodynamics. The seamless toe and the elastic fit contribute to a high wearing comfort. Non-slip silicone fabric on cuff. Compression band for more stability at the instep.
Specifications
Lower: 97% Nylon, 3% Spandex
Upper: 85% Nylon, 15% Spandex
