Fresh Goods Sunday - Assos GT SOCKS C2 (Droid Orange)

 

I suppose it is not really the right time of year posting a Blog on Fresh Goods Sunday - summer socks with white parts! I bough these last year as the orange matches my Assos trail short sleeved jersey and Endura MTR shorts which have orange logos. As ever with Assos the quality is top notch and cannot fault them Assos manufacture a massive range of socks for all types of riding in all seasons. This model comes in loads of different colours and three different size options. I have only used them when it dry offroad as the white rim on the top of the socks will get marked very easily with the local clarts. They are comfortable on my feet and wash well. They are too thin and the material is too breathable for cooler days or winter months. As ever shop around as it is the end of the summer season now and the shops are starting to stock the winter range of clothing. 

RRP £15 and I paid £12 from Chevin Cycles. Discount 20% 

Manufacturers blurb - 

A classic cycling sock, updated with functional technology for cooling and support and a slightly longer cuff for a clean, current aesthetic.
A piece of cycling equipment is effective when it does its job so well that you forget about it. Like their predecessors, the latest GT Socks embody that ethos, pulling moisture, resisting odor, and providing a light wrap of support across the metatarsals, arch, and ankle. We’ve updated the design with new yarns, improved ventilation, and a cuff height of 16cm (6in).
