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 typically associated with winter cycling apparel. While they offer a high-performance anatomical fit that stays securely in place, users should note that they are specifically optimized for close-fitting cycling shoes, which may limit their use for general heavy-duty hiking or casual daily wear.

FAQs

Can I use these socks for hiking?

While technically possible, these are designed with a specific anatomical fit for cycling shoes and may wear out faster if used for hiking or heavy walking.

Are these socks machine washable?

Yes, they should be machine washed at 30°C. We recommend avoiding high-heat drying to maintain the integrity of the wool and elastane blend.

Will these socks fit in my regular winter shoes?

They are low-bulk and should fit in most standard shoes, but they perform best in performance-oriented cycling footwear.

What is the primary material composition?

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

How long is the cuff on these socks?

The cuff length is 18cm, providing significant coverage above the ankle.

Do these socks provide arch support?

The anatomical construction provides a snug fit that supports the foot shape, though they are not marketed as specialized compression or orthotic socks.

Troubleshooting

Sock feels tight or causes numbness

Ensure the sock is pulled up straight without twisting; if pressure persists, check if your cycling shoe is overly tightened at the mid-foot.

Moisture buildup inside the shoe

Ensure you are using a cycling shoe with adequate ventilation; while the socks are breathable, extremely tight-fitting, non-breathable shoe covers may trap moisture.

Sock sliding down during rides

Check that you have the correct size; if the sock continues to slide, ensure the cuff is placed properly on the calf and not over restrictive leg warmers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-bulk ratio
  • Effective at wicking moisture to keep feet dry
  • Snug, anatomical fit prevents slipping
  • Durable blend of synthetic and natural fibers
  • Suitable for high-intensity winter cycling

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely mild weather due to insulation
  • Requires careful machine washing to maintain integrity
  • Designed primarily for cycling specific footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, pair these socks with your standard cycling shoes. Due to their lightweight, low-bulk design, you should not need to upsize your cycling shoes to accommodate them. To keep the technical fibers functioning correctly, follow these care instructions:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the wicking properties of the technical yarns.
  3. Air dry whenever possible to preserve the elasticity of the elastane component.
  4. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat can degrade the merino wool fibers and shorten the lifespan of the socks.
