Winter socks for XC mountain biking

As well as warming material, wind-resistant fibres on the front of the cuff reduce heat loss caused by the headwind on fast descents.

For particularly cold days, some riders also combine thin liner socks with their regular winter socks to increase insulation further without being packed too tightly into the shoe.

Tip: On wet winter rides, look for a sock that dries quickly and put on a dry pair straight after the ride.
