Castelli Bandito Merino 18 Cykelstrømper

The warmth of merino wool without the bulk of a winter sock. That makes this a very pleasant sock for cold, winter days.

Merino wool blend for warmth and durability
Merino wool blends are known for their excellent insulating properties. That's because merino wool provides natural warmth, even when it's wet, which is essential for comfort in cold conditions. The addition of synthetic fibres increases the durability and wear resistance of the socks. That means they'll last longer, even when used daily and when washed repeatedly. Merino wool naturally has moisture wicking properties, so your feet will stay dry. This prevents blisters and increases your comfort. These socks will stay fresh and odour-free for a long time, thanks to the wool's antibacterial properties, even when used intensively.

Thin socks, for a proper fit inside your shoes
Although these socks are thin, the merino wool blend provides plenty of warmth. That makes these socks suitable for cold as well as mild conditions, making them versatile. Their thin design ensures a good fit in the shoe, so you won't experience any pressure or discomfort. That's mainly important for activities like running, hiking or cycling. These thin socks give you more control over your shoe, which can improve your performance during sports or other activities.

18 cm cuff
An 18 cm cuff provides extra coverage and warmth around your ankles and lower legs. This is especially useful during cold days or for activities in cold environments. The lengthened cuff ensures extra support and prevents the socks from sagging, resulting in a comfortable and stable fit during the day. This extra length also helps prevent chafing and irritation, especially when you're wearing high shoes or boots.
