You may not have heard of this small cycle clothing brand as its not a main stream cycle shop / website shop clothing range. They don't have any distributors and sell direct themselves to customers via their own website. They were based in London but moved to the North East a few years ago with offices at Tanfiled Lea, then Langley Park and now they are in Consett.
Attacus have a good range of clothing from cycling to the leisure side. From gilets, jerseys, baselayers, shorts, tights, gloves, socks and warmers. They have a huge range of colour options and sizes.
On their first pop up shop day was my first chance to see their clothing in real life. I was after some more summer socks and they come in various different colours but these were for off road I mainly get black to hide all the muck! The socks comes in two sizes with small to medium going upto size 9. My feet are are 8 to 8.5 and they are on the max stretch but still comfortable. If i was a 9 I would go up to the medium to large size.
I have worn them on quite a few rides now and not had any problems, they are comfortable to wear and cool enough with the material they use. The top part stays in place and does not drop down in use. Only time will tell how long they last in use. The feel and quality of the sock is good quality. The rrp is on the high side I feel compared to other manufacturers top end socks. If you see my previous post they have got 30% off at the mo so make sure you make the most of it.
RRP £15 and I paid £12 from Attacus CC pop up shop. Discount 20%
Manufacturers blurb - Our Premium Cycling Socks are made with a technical, lightweight, durable, elasticated yarn that's specially designed to regulate temperature and wick away sweat, keeping your feet dry longer. Their woven mesh finish also offers a touch of compression to keep them firmly in place and aid circulation.
It's what makes them so damn good for cycling in.
