Product Information

Full details

The DHB PrimaLoft Wool Socks are designed for adult cyclists who require reliable warmth and moisture management during cold-weather rides. By blending merino wool with PrimaLoft polyester, these socks provide excellent thermal regulation without the bulk associated with traditional winter gear, ensuring they remain comfortable inside tight-fitting cycling shoes. However, users should note that they require specific low-temperature machine washing and air-drying to maintain their technical fabric properties.

FAQs

Are these socks suitable for temperatures below freezing?

Yes, they are specifically designed for cold-weather riding. However, total warmth depends on your footwear's insulation and your individual circulation.

Can I put these socks in the tumble dryer?

No. Tumble drying will damage the technical fiber composition and may cause the socks to shrink or lose their shape.

What is the exact fabric composition?

The socks are made of 38% Polyamide, 30% Wool, 28% Polyester, and 4% Elastane.

Is the wool content itchy?

No, the blend of merino wool and PrimaLoft is specifically engineered to provide a soft, comfortable feel against the skin.

Do these socks come in different sizes?

Yes, different variants are available to accommodate different foot sizes, though this specific item is a size L.

Will these socks fit inside racing-fit cycling shoes?

Yes, the low-bulk design is intended to provide warmth without adding unnecessary volume, making them suitable for tighter performance cycling shoes.

Troubleshooting

Socks slipping down during the ride

Ensure you are using the correct size; if the socks feel loose, the anatomical fit will not function as intended. Verify they are pulled up fully and not obstructed by leg warmer material.

Feeling cold during long winter rides

Ensure your cycling shoes are not too tight, as restricted blood flow is the most common cause of cold feet. Additionally, check that there is no gap between your leg warmers/tights and the sock cuff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-bulk ratio
  • Soft feel against the skin due to merino content
  • Moisture-wicking properties keep feet dry
  • Secure anatomical fit prevents movement in shoe
  • Provides reliable coverage with 18cm cuff

Cons

  • Requires careful hand-wash or gentle machine cycle maintenance
  • Not suitable for tumble drying
  • Synthetic blend requires specific care to prevent fiber damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, ensure these socks are pulled fully onto the foot to align the anatomical contouring with your arch. They are highly compatible with most cycling shoe styles due to their thin profile.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wash: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C using a gentle cycle.
  2. Sorting: Always wash dark colours separately to prevent dye transfer.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang or lay flat to air dry naturally to preserve the elasticity and fiber integrity.
  4. Restrictions: Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean as these processes will damage the technical performance fibers.
