Firstgear Heated Electric Socks | Mens & Womens Motorcycle Thermal Moisture Wicking

Andy — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:04:40 +0000

The cold, lament floor offers no sympathy to Jenna's bare feet as sharp, unforgiving shivers are sent throughout her spine. She hurries across the kitchen in search of her only salvation, the small round area rug in front of the fridge, placed conveniently for sanctuary when battling the midnight snack. Though, not practical in this situation, Jenna wishes she had remembered to use the birthday gift she received just days before, a pair of Firstgear Heated Socks. The heated socks would have made this trip, and so many before it, an easy venture to satisfy the late night cravings, possibly keeping her in a sleep-like nirvana instead of rudely awaking herself with each freezing step.

The moral of this story is: don't underestimate the comfort of having toasty toes. When riding in the colder weather, feet sticking out exposed to the rapid gusts of wind caused by speeding through the city, the only wish some of us have is that our feet don't fall off. The Firstgear Heated Socks are completely practical for when you're riding, and they plug right into their heating system and are designed to provide heat on the tops of the toes. The fabric is comfortable, soft, thin, and wicks moisture away from the skin. The heel is fitted, and the toes are seamless.

REV’IT! Motorcycle Socks, Knee High Athletic | Tour Summer Moisture Wicking Wool

Tim — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 22:13:19 +0000

So you've read the Spot Motorcycles product reviews of the newest motorcycling boots and you've made your choice. That's the end of the footwear story… right? Wrong! What you wear under those new boots will have a huge impact on comfort and fit. Quality socks even have an impact on safety.

REV'IT! makes a full range of quality motorcycle-specific socks. Their Tour Summer Socks are a good starting point for your sock research. One look at the makeup of the Tour Summer socks reveals a great deal of research and forethought on the part of the company. The socks are constructed of 29% microfiber, 22% polyamide, 19% merino wool, 12% robur, 11% mytlan, 5% acrylic, 2% elastane. I won't try to explain what each of those components do, but suffice it to say they add up to a comfortable, effectively moisture-wicking sock. A look at a picture of the socks reveals a highly technical design.

OK, so comfort is a good thing, but how does all this add up to safety? Comfortable feet that are not wallowing in perspiration are much more likely to do all of the tasks required -- shifting, braking, balancing, even steering. Fit is vital in socks of this nature, and there are 4 size ranges available in the Tour Summer socks. One word of warning: these are very tall socks that fit just below the knee. Some people feel restricted in such tall socks.

Alpinestars MX Thick Socks

admin — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:04:00 +0000

Some motocross riders are content to settle for low quality, non-cushioned socks. Many don't give a thought to the advantage that thicker padded socks can offer.

The comfort of even the best riding footwear can be increased with the simple addition of Alpinestars MX Thick Socks. They were developed with a specific kind of rider in mind: the one who knows that they prefer a more padded feel than regular riding socks can offer.

Their ribbed design minimizes uncomfortable bunching at the ankles and feet because the last thing you need to think about when you're riding is uncomfortable socks

If you know that you prefer quality riding socks, then Alpinestars MX Thick Socks are for you.

Especially if you have a pair of new Answer Fazer boots. They tend to run a bit large.
