RACER-U Dark grey
Description
The Kilpi RACER-U sports socks made from a lightweight, breathable merino wool/synthetic blend knit are suitable for high-intensity sports such as skiing, ski-alping or cross-country skiing. The various types of knits are arranged according to functional zones to achieve maximum comfort. Some natural properties of merino wool is its ability to neutralise sweat, eliminate unpleasant odours and naturally repel dirt. Polyamide fibres increase the sock's tensile strength and abrasion resistance. Elastane, as it is known, improves elasticity. The reinforced shin zone helps combat blisters from ski boots. The plush heel and toe area is abrasion resistant. A structured breathable zone around the instep helps wick away moisture. The upper hem of the sock is sufficiently flexible, wide and does not compress. The Kilpi RACER-U socks are available in two colours.

Technology
MERINO WOOL
Merino wool comes from a special kind of sheep living in cold areas. Clothes made of this material are very pleasant to the touch and do not scratch. The fiber structure and weaving technology create more "air pockets" and guarantee thermal comfort. The pockets keep the air warmed on the body and form a very effective insulation. Merino wool helps to neutralize sweat, which naturally eliminates odor, is resistant to dirt and has self-cleaning properties. The fibers are capable of absorbing a large amount of moisture while still retaining their properties. Among the indisputable advantages are the perfect breathability of the products, the ability to remove moisture from the skin and natural UV protection.
