Ski socks: an essential for winter
At CimAlp, we’ve developed a range of socks specifically for skiing.
Explore our designs for winter sports, featuring all our latest innovations. Warm socks made with merino wool, durable thanks to a specific weave and hard-wearing fibres, and, of course, knee-high socks to protect your feet and calves from the cold.
How do you choose ski socks?
Ski socks need to do several things:
- Retaining warmth
- Moisture wicking
- A secure fit
- Enough thickness
- Reinforced areas
As for materials:
- Wool, usually found in the sole, combines durability, insulation and a high capacity to absorb moisture.
- Acrylic provides thermal protection, but it is somewhat delicate.
- Polyamide resists abrasion and is easy to care for. It is often used to reinforce the heel and toe areas.
- Polyester provides temperature regulation and resistance to abrasion.
- Elastane keeps the sock securely in place on your foot.
To complete your ski kit, take a look at our accessories too: après-ski boots, ski backpacks, ski sunglasses and goggles and ski hats and gloves.
