When it comes to protecting your feet from injury and strain in a multitude of snowsports, good quality performance socks are a crucial part of your winter sports kit. SmartWool's PhD Ski and Snowboard collection offers the very highest performance category from the brand that knows everything about the importance of fit, comfort and breathability for active feet.
SmartWool's PhD technology embraces the most important features essential to keep feet warm, protected and dry, for all day performance fit. Their unique 4 Degree Fit System, ensures that your socks stay in place and won't bunch or slip around preventing friction and potential blisters. PhD socks are bolstered with mesh ventilation zones to help the feet breathe easily.
Other essential benefits of SmartWool's PhD Ski and Snowboard collection includes SmartWool's WoW technology which provides high density impact zones to provide a custom-fit feeling that gives extra cushioning in areas where feet and legs really need it. Most notably, for many winter sports, this extra cushioning is provided around the shin, heel and instep.
SmartWool PhD socks are made from the highest quality grade Merino wool which has performance features that surpass any synthetic fibres. Wool is a natural insulator and regulates temperature to keep feet warm when it's cool and cool when it's warm. Wool is also antimicrobial which prevents odour causing bacteria from getting trapped within its fibres and causing a stink! Another very important feature when you return from a long day in the hills and mountains.
The PhD collection for snow sports in both men's and women's fit, includes PhD Ski Ultra Light, PhD Ski Racer, PhD Ski Light, PhD Ski Medium, PhD Snowboard Ultra Light, PhD Snowboard Light and PhD Snowboard Medium. There are also 2 designs for Nordic Skiers, PhD Nordic Light and PhD Nordic Medium.
