The Men's Gordini Sterling Heavyweight Ski Over-the-Calf Sock (G4S1002) is the perfect match for the coldest winter days on the mountain. Based in Vermont and independently owned, Gordini has been making next to skin products to keep you outside longer for 65 years. These padded ski socks are constructed with double layers of Merino wool that provide moisture management and lasting durability. The double layer SoleKNIT exterior and interior layers form thermal air pockets that help keep feet warm and dry. Padded shin panels protect against abrasion and boot bang while ankle protection stabilizes and protects the ankle joint. Instep compression increases circulation, breathability, and comfort so you don't have to think twice about wearing these on long days. Expanding OrbitKNIT ribbing at the cuff keeps socks in place without constriction. Heel pockets offer a secure hold and smooth toe closures prevent hot spots for a frictionless fit. Odor-resistant materials keep feet fresh even when you're skiing bell to bell. The Sterling heavyweight padded ski socks stand up to the coldest temperatures and long days in the mountains.
