The CIAO Socks provoke attacks and town-sign sprints resulting in increased power-output (watt) over a short period of time. The higher heart-rate (bpm) and speed (km/h) lead to higher strain on the body. Those little intervals still don't take up too much energy (kcal) most probably due to the fact that in our test environment the athletes always regrouped. Still you have to keep in mind that this will take a toll on your recovery.
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.
