Frequently Asked Questions
What makes these ski socks suitable for all-mountain skiing?
The TEKO eco SKI All-Mountain 2.0 socks feature strategic light cushioning in shin, foot, and heel areas—providing protection where ski boots create pressure whilst maintaining the responsive boot feel preferred by experienced skiers. Developed through collaboration with Freeride World Tour athletes, these socks excel across varied terrain from groomed pistes to backcountry powder. The light compression construction prevents material bunching whilst promoting circulation, and the knee-high design ensures complete coverage inside ski boots and compatibility with gaiters.
Who should choose light cushioning 2.0 for skiing?
The light cushioning 2.0 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 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. The light compression construction is particularly beneficial during long days in ski boots. For those preferring more cushioning or new to skiing, consider the eco SKI All-Mountain 3.0.
How does the light compression construction work?
The anti-bunching, light compression construction provides gentle, graduated compression that promotes circulation during long days in ski boots whilst preventing material from gathering or bunching. This design works in conjunction with the Anti-Crumple Zones to eliminate pressure points and discomfort during extended wear. The light compression also supports muscle recovery and helps maintain sock position throughout aggressive skiing movements, making these socks particularly popular with ski instructors and professional skiers who spend extensive time in ski boots.
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.
How should I care for my TEKO merino wool ski socks?
Wash your TEKO eco SKI 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.
