The SKI MERINO HIGH CUT socks are designed for maximum foot comfort when ski touring. They feature ventilation channels at the instep and footbed for better breathability and to prevent your feet from overheating during strenuous activity.The blended fabric wicks moisture effectively to the outside, leaving your feet dry – this helps prevent chafing and blisters, even during a long day on the hill. The comfort is further enhanced by the thick padding at critical points like the ankle and toe.
