These Heat Holders Original Extra Long Ski & Snow Sports Socks in Black Stripe are designed for adult males seeking superior warmth and comfort during winter sports. Their key benefit is exceptional heat retention, keeping feet toasty even in extreme cold, ideal for skiing, snowboarding, and après-ski. A potential caveat is their extra-long length, which may feel excessive for non-snow sports activities. Key features include a brushed thermal lining, ankle support, and a 2.3 TOG rating.

While designed for skiing and snow sports due to their extra-long length and specific features, they can be worn for any activity in very cold conditions where exceptional warmth is needed. For everyday casual wear, the extra-long length might be less practical.
The TOG rating measures thermal insulation. A 2.3 TOG rating indicates a high level of warmth, making these socks suitable for very cold environments.
Check the size guide provided (UK 6-11 or UK 7-12). The ankle support is designed to provide a snug fit; ensure the socks are pulled up fully without being constricting.
It is recommended to line dry these socks. Tumble drying, especially on high heat, can damage the brushed thermal lining and affect the sock's elasticity and warmth.
The socks are made from 91% Acrylic, 5% Nylon, 3% Polyester, and 1% Elastane.
Heat Holders partners with Scleroderma & Raynaud's UK (SRUK), and their thermal socks are often recommended for individuals managing conditions like Raynaud's phenomenon due to their excellent heat-retaining properties.
This product is sold as a 1 Pair Pack.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the ankle support may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
Confirm the socks are the correct size and fully pulled up. Ensure they are not overly compressed inside very tight-fitting boots. Consider wearing them with other Heat Holders products for maximum thermal layering.
Avoid tumble drying on high heat. Always follow the care instructions and opt for line drying to preserve the fabric's properties.
This is a common characteristic of brushed thermal linings and usually indicates the socks are working by trapping air. If excessive, ensure you are not snagging them on rough surfaces or during washing.
Setup: These socks require no special setup. Simply wear them as you would any other pair of socks. Ensure they are pulled up fully to utilize the ankle support and extra-long leg design effectively.
Compatibility: Designed to fit within standard ski and snowboard boots. They are suitable for adult males with shoe sizes UK 6-11 (EUR 39-45) or UK 7-12 (EUR 40-46). The blend of materials offers a comfortable stretch, accommodating various calf sizes.
