Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the MTN DiViSiON different from other ski socks?
The TEKO eco SNOW MTN DiViSiON socks feature a unique asymmetric chevron design on the foot that helps ensure correct sock positioning for optimal fit and performance. Combined with strategic light cushioning 2.0 in shin, foot, and heel areas, these socks provide protection where needed whilst maintaining responsive boot feel preferred by advanced skiers. Developed through collaboration with Freeride World Tour athletes, every detail from the toe to the cuff has been meticulously refined for superior comfort, fit, and performance on demanding alpine terrain.
Who should choose light cushioning 2.0 for skiing?
The light cushioning 2.0 in the MTN DiViSiON is ideal for experienced skiers, ski instructors, and those who prefer a closer, more responsive boot feel. The strategic cushioning provides protection in key pressure areas—shin, foot, and heel—without excess bulk that compromises boot fit or performance. This level suits ski touring and backcountry skiing where weight matters, as well as advanced resort skiers who want maximum boot responsiveness. For those preferring more cushioning or new to skiing, consider the eco SKI All-Mountain 3.0.
How does the Merino Syn3rgy yarn benefit skiing performance?
Merino Syn3rgy combines the natural benefits of merino wool—temperature regulation, moisture wicking, and odour resistance—with superfine recycled polyester for enhanced durability and faster drying. This precise blend provides increased comfort during long days in ski boots whilst maintaining the performance characteristics essential for alpine conditions. The chlorine-free, Bluesign® certified merino wool ensures both environmental responsibility and exceptional quality, keeping feet comfortable from first chair through après-ski.
What do the asymmetric chevrons on the foot do?
The asymmetric chevrons on the foot provide visual guidance to ensure you're wearing the sock on the correct foot for optimal fit. Combined with the asymmetric left/right specific design and anatomical Y-heel, this positioning system ensures the sock's strategic cushioning zones, Anti-Crumple Zones, and Achilles Wrap System align perfectly with your foot anatomy for maximum comfort and performance during aggressive skiing movements.
How should I care for my TEKO merino wool ski socks?
Wash your TEKO eco SNOW socks at 30°C (machine or hand wash) inside-out to save energy and water whilst maintaining fabric integrity. Always air dry—avoid tumble dryers as heat can damage merino fibres and reduce sock longevity. Do not use bleach, iron, or dry clean. This gentle care extends the life of your socks and supports their environmental credentials. The chlorine-free merino wool treatment means these socks maintain softness and performance even after many washes.
