Alpinestars Thermal Tech Socks

I’ve got a pair of Alpinestars Thermal Tech socks and I really rate them. Everyone else is reviewing their expensive jackets, trousers and gloves but I think that these humble, cheap and cheerful socks deserve a mention. There aren’t many Alpinestars products that you can buy for under £20 so if you want to check out the quality of Alpinestars clothing without breaking your budget then these socks are a good place to start.

The Thermal Tech socks are knee length which may not be very trendy for the younger riders but are a good length for wearing with your bike boots. Nobody sees your socks when you are all kitted out in your bike gear so who cares what they look like?! I happen to think they are very smart. These socks are made of a warm and breathable moisture wicking knit fabric so they keep your feet nice and toasty when it’s cold but if your feet get a bit too warm then the sweat will be wicked away so you stay dry and fresh. There is a product called Nostatex in the sole which is also takes the moisture away from your skin and has an anti-bacterial, non-odour layer that conducts the heat evenly around your feet to stop you getting hot spots! It’s very clever stuff and my wife particularly like the ‘non-odour’ part.



Lots of socks tend to bunch up around the heel and ankle but these socks don’t. I think it’s due to the ribbed design that keeps them firmly in place. The Alpinestars Thermal Tech socks come in two sizes, Small/Medium which is UK3-7 and Large/XL which is UK8-12. They fit very well and they’re very comfortable.

If you are beginning to think of ideas for Christmas presents then maybe this year you should consider getting socks for your biking loved one. I thoroughly recommend the Alpinestars Thermal Tech socks and I will be extremely pleased to open a new pair on Christmas day!
