Cosy socks for winter riding cunningly knitted with a toasty merino wool inner and hard-wearing nylon outer. Slightly longer and thicker than the Ankle Biters with additional cushioning around your ankles . Mud and chain oil blends in with the laundry-friendly black cuffs.
> Made by us in New Zealand.
> The Ankle Biters are a lightweight summer sock constructed from a blend of Merino wool and nylon to keep your feet cool in sticky situations.The Toe Rags are constructed in much the same way as the Ankle Biters, but are more of a hot weather option, thinner with heel and toe padding and below-the-ankle styling.
> The Zig Zags are primarily for winter riding. Merino wool on the inside keeps your toes toasty while the hard wearing nylon outer keeps them looking good.
> The Lucifers are a thermal sock with a windproof front - providing maximum warmth in cold conditions.
Washing Instructions?
> All Ground Effect clothing enjoys a warm machine wash. Try to avoid cold-water detergents and those with bleach. The cold-water varieties have little enzymes that are super-charged to brave the cold but can damage technical fabrics and cause skin irritation. And bleach rots natural fibres like cotton, strips the dye and can also cause irritation. As a rule of thumb, product that is easy on the planet is also easy on your body. Plant based soaps like 'Ecover' or specific sport wash formula are recommended.
> Hand washing is sometimes the only option on tour, but a washing machine rinses more thoroughly and is preferable if you have the choice.
> Drying on the line or hanging on the bedpost is generally preferable to using a dryer. Most Ground Effect gear dries super-fast anyway. High heat can damage some fabrics so if you must take your threads for a spin set the device on 'medium' or 'warm' rather than hot.
