BAUERFEIND SPORTS Ski Performance Compression Socks
66 g · S: 35–38, M: 39–42, L: 43–46 (Damen), M: 38–41, L: 42–45, XL: 46–49 (Herren)
Zone-specific calf compression increases muscular efficiency, keeps calves fit even on long ski days and makes skiing more enjoyable. To keep the socks particularly light and regulate moisture and temperature, Bauerfeind Sports uses Dryarn in its high-performance knit. Dryarn is among the lightest functional fibres available, with greater breathability than polyester and better thermal insulation than wool. Integrated anatomical functional zones provide optimal comfort, improve performance and support more precise power transfer to the ski boot for greater control of the ski.

BAUERFEIND SPORTS Ski Touring Compression Socks
74 g · S: 35–38, M: 39–42, L: 43–46 (Damen), M: 38–41, L: 42–45, XL: 46–49 (Herren)
The Ski Touring Compression Socks were specially developed for ski touring fans. Bauerfeind Sports is an absolute fit specialist - the perfect size is determined individually based on foot length and calf circumference. While the targeted zone compression improves the efficiency of your calf muscles, the light, thin knit and cleverly integrated ventilation zones increase breathability. Anatomically recessed padding zones specifically reduce pressure on sensitive areas in the ski boot, and the sole of the foot with innovative profile padding offers great support - especially when ascending and carrying passages. Thanks to the high merino wool content, your feet stay comfortably warm and dry from the first meter up to the descent.

BAUERFEIND SPORTS Sports Recovery Compression Socks
46 g · S: 35–38, M: 39–42, L: 43–46, XL: 47–50
The Sports Recovery Compression Socks immediately breathe vitality back into your legs after a tour or workout and accelerate regeneration. The faster recovery is achieved thanks to the special design, which activates the metabolism and promotes blood circulation in your calf muscles - whether after a ski tour, skiing, running or biking. This is due to the zone compression with an optimal pressure gradient that decreases from the ankle to the calf. This means you can minimize the heavy feeling in your legs even after long tours and feel fitter for the next day. You'll enjoy the adventure even more if you wear the socks beforehand, for example when you arrive - this revitalizes your calf muscles.
