Which aero socks

[Mamil]

Interested to know who is wearing what brand of aero socks - I'm looking to replace my ciovitas which have worn out, who knows if they make me any faster but youchoob tells me they're a gamechanger so I have my mastercard at the ready...

I've got a few pairs of these, by far the cheapest I've found, and work well:

I second this. They also last a long time if you don't tumble-dry them, it seems it's the warm air which makes the silicone strips start peeling, But they are fantastic and last long.

I don't think they make such a huge difference as (mainly GCN....triggered by Josh from Silca) promotes.

As a roadie I obviously owns a pair. 

But... back in the day I  I owned a balance band as well

On real aero socks you can find 3-6s, however they not generally available to public and at the cost not many public can buy them and decide its a good idea to tumble dry them

Fascinating topic !

Are aero socks better than shaved legs ?
I have neither, so am asking for a friend...

Shave your friends legs, and fit some aero socks to said friend. Your friend should be much faster after than!

If only there were some road races left in SA to wear the aero socks to 😥. Until then, I guess it is worth it to save the 5w to be first in line at Platõ coffee shop on a Wednesday morning 🤙

Roglic wore aero socks with hairy legs in the beginning of the season. Net gain is then 0?

Of all the things to take issue with, given general road cycling attire, white socks seems a particularly strange hill to die on 😂

Just slip this into your socks, will also provide a mid ride snack

I mean, the same store does long black aero socks, but then it looks like you're wearing black stockings, so you do you 😉
