Product Information
Full details
The Aubrion Eltar socks are designed for adult riders who require enhanced leg comfort and support while wearing riding boots. Their primary benefit is the combination of moisture-wicking, fine-knit fabric and integrated silicone grip that keeps the socks securely in place throughout long rides; however, their specialized fit may feel too thin for those seeking heavy-duty thermal insulation.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter riding?
The Eltar socks are designed for heat release and moisture management. They are not intended as primary thermal insulation for freezing conditions.
Can I tumble dry these socks?
It is recommended to air dry these socks to preserve the elasticity of the cuff and the integrity of the silicone print.
What is the primary material benefit?
The fine knit allows for optimal airflow, helping to keep your legs cool and dry inside riding boots.
Do the silicone grips leave marks on boot liners?
No, the silicone is designed to be low-profile and grip-focused, though you should keep your boots clean to ensure the best performance.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Eltar series is available in several colors including Black, Grey, and Green.
Are these unisex?
The blue, black, and green variants are listed for men, while the grey variant is specified as unisex.
Troubleshooting
Sock sliding down during wear
Ensure the calf area of the boot is clean and free of dust, as debris can interfere with the effectiveness of the silicone print.
Moisture build-up inside the boot
Check that the boots have adequate ventilation and consider removing boots immediately after riding to allow the socks and boot lining to dry fully.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces moisture build-up effectively
- Prevents slippage inside boots with silicone grip
- Smooth seams reduce rubbing and irritation
- Lightweight, bulk-free fit
Cons
- Not intended for extreme cold weather protection
- Specialized grip may wear over long-term frequent use
- Limited to adult sizing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the silicone grips, always wash the socks inside out using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the technical knit. Because these socks are designed for a close-contact fit, they are best paired with standard-fit riding boots. Avoid wearing them with boots that are already extremely tight, as the added friction from the silicone grip may make them difficult to slide on.
