X-Socks Ski Patriot 4.0 Switzerland

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Air-Conditioning Channel® for X-SOCKS®

  No question: Shoes and socks are indispensable. Because in the course of his evolutionary history, man has ventured further and further into regions for which the bare foot no longer offers adequate protection.
  Fresh air supply for a barefoot climate.
  Air-conducting 3D structures and high-tech special yarn promote intensive ventilation of the feet.

• Active-Bund® for X-SOCKS®

  The Aktivbund® adjusts to any leg circumference without slipping or constricting. This guarantees optimal fit and wearing comfort.
  Slipping socks? Never again.
  The Aktiv-Bund® adapts to any leg size without slipping or constricting. That guarantees for a perfect fit and wearing comfort.

• Heel Protector

  At the heel, pressure easily causes blisters. The protector dampens the friction here and thus effectively reduces the risk of blisters.
  Tread 10 years of research underfoot.
  The Heel Protector absorbs friction and thus effectively decreases the risk of blistering.

• Toe Protector

  If you want to run at the top, you have to see that it runs well on your toes. The patented toe protector adapts perfectly to the asymmetrical toes. So he protects them from blisters, chafing and sores.
  OUR ENGINEERS ARE FULL OF IDEAS UP TO THEIR TOES.
  The Asymmetrical Toe Protector absorbs pressure and perfectly hugs the contour of the asymmetric toe area.

• ToeTip Protector

  Everyone knows the unpleasant feeling when the foot inevitably slips forward in the shoe again and again and the toes hit the shoe. In the long run, this results in pressure pain. To buffer this pressure, the asymmetrical ToeTip protector is made of a shock-absorbing Robur hollow-chamber yarn. It cushions and protects the toes at their pressure-sensitive tip.
  Protects the pressure sensitive toes.
  To buffer the foot from this pressure the ToeTip Protector is made of Robur that cushions and protects the toes and the especially sensitive tips of the toes.

• Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles Tendon Protector 4.0

  The special Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles tendon protector provides reinforced protection: The protector is designed with an omission. The sensitive Achilles tendon is not stressed because it is protected in the opening of the pad. Pressure and friction are avoided because the shock-absorbing pad keeps the shoe at a distance.
  Relieves the Achilles tendon.
  The special Lambertz-Nicholson Achilles Tendon Protector prevents strain on the sensitive Achilles tendon because it is protected by a surrounding cushion.

• AirFlow Ankle Pads

  Often the ankle rubs in the footwear and if there is an injury to the foot in a fall, it is usually the ankle that is damaged.
  Gives the ankle the greatest possible protection.
  A sickle-shaped arrangement of the AirFlow ankle pads gives the ankle the greatest possible protection during sports such as biking, skiing or motorcycling.

• Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage

  A sensitive system of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints - that is our foot. And with just one unfortunate step, this "well-rehearsed" team can go to its knees in pain. That's why the ankle area in particular should be cushioned and stabilized without restricting freedom of movement. The unique Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage is knitted from elastic material and gives the stressed tendons, muscles and joint apparatus optimum support and maximum stability without restricting freedom of movement.
  Stabilizes the ankle joint.
  The Suppronation® XX-Cross® Bandage is a cross ankle bandage knitted from an elastic material, which stabilises the ankle and optimally supports the foot's function without limiting the freedom of movement.

• Instep Protector with AirVent Zone

  The 2 millimeter high 3D knitting technology prevents the material from lying on the entire surface and provides effective ventilation. This allows warm, moist air to escape upwards from the shoe. The foot remains dry and resistant to blisters.
  2 millimeters. A huge leap for air circulation.
  The Instep Protector with AirVent Zone features a 2 millimetre-high 3D knit technology that keeps the material from clinging fully to the skin and therefore allows effective ventilation. Moist, warm air can escape upwards out of the shoe. The foot remains dry and resists blisters.

• ISO Blocker

  The ISO blocker acts against cold bridges. It reduces the risk of pressure points, ventilates and dries in the intermediate area.
  Prevents cold air from the start.
  The ISO-Blocker prevents cold draughts and reduces the incidence of pressure points. Plus it ventilates and dries the areas between the ridges.

• Smart Compression

  For the body to maintain its performance level during sustained exercise, the cardiovascular system needs support. This task is performed by functional underwear with compression technology, which promotes venous blood return to the heart. Here, a perfect fit is just as important as intelligently positioned compression zones.
  
  Smart Compression improves blood circulation, reduces muscle vibration, optimises performance.

• HeliXcoil®

  
  
  The HeliXcoil® spiral sorrounds the calf muscles from the ankle to the knee. It supports the muscle effectively and enhances blood circulation and reduces muscle vibration significantly.

• Calf Protector

  This calf protector provides protection and rear ventilation: The pad has wide channels running horizontally and vertically to keep the area dry.
  Intelligent socks know where the shoe pinches.
  This Calf Protector provides both protection and ventilation: the horizontal and vertical padding contains wide channels to keep the area dry.

• SHIN PROTECTOR

  Absorbs shock, reduces painful pressure points and the risk of skin abrasions.
  The shock absorber.
  Acts as a shock absorber and reduces the incidence of pressure points and the risk of sustaining scrapes and bruises.

• Ankle Protector

  
  
  Cushions the particulary exposed ankle, effectively protects it from abrasions.

• Anatomically shaped footbed

  Our foot only bears the entire body weight in a few places. These highly stressed areas are protected and supported in the best possible way by the anatomically shaped footbed, which is adapted to the "L" left and "R" right foot.
  Nature shaped your foot. Your sock should know how.
  Our entire body weight is borne by only a few small areas of the foot. Using the best technology available today, the anatomically shaped footbed aligned to "R"- right and "L"- left foot, protects and supports these high stress areas.

• Traverse AirFlow Channel System

  The Traverse AirFlow Channel System is a 3-channel ventilation system that transports moisture and heat into the receiving area of the Air-Conditioning Channel®.
  Cross ventilation under the sole.
  The three-channel cross-ventilation system helps to conduct warmth and moisture into the Air-Conditioning Channel®.

• Stretch Rib

  
  
  Provides maximum elasticity and ideal fit.
