In order to get the best balance of warmth and breathability, Assos have used a blend of wool and synthetic fibres for their Ultraz Winter Socks EVO. The wool yarns provide natural insulation against the cold, even when wet, and give them odour resistance too. Meanwhile, the synthetic yarns give the socks plenty of stretch and deal quickly with sweat, ensuring your feet remain fresh and dry. When it comes to insulation, this has been boosted across the forefoot, providing outstanding warmth during the coldest days on the bike. Seamless construction provides an irritation-free fit while compressive support keeps your socks firmly in place and prevents bunching.
Made from 2-layer waterShield textile, the RSR Thermo Rain Socks add a waterproof and windproof protective layer between your regular cycling socks and your cycling shoes.

Being worn inside your shoe also removes the risk of the crankarm and chainstay rub that overshoes often suffer from.
