The ski socks from CORE GORIMO made a very good impression in our test. In addition to the very high-quality materials , the product impresses with its appealing but simple design. When worn, the ski socks fit snugly and are easy to put on and take off. The size gradations are a perfect fit, but depending on the calf circumference, the socks may be a little tight and the cuff may sit too high. The high merino content of at least 40% ensures perfect thermoregulation. Synthetic materials give the product lasting elasticity. The special weave in the shin area provides pressure relief in the ski boot. The padding in the toe, heel and instep area prevents friction and protects against pressure points and blisters. If the customer is still not satisfied with the ski socks, the manufacturer offers a satisfaction guarantee.

During the wear test, the product fits comfortably tight and is easy to put on and take off. The individual size gradations (35-38, 39-42, 43-46) fit well. Depending on the calf circumference, however, the sock may feel a little tight and the waistband may sit too high . The high merino content of at least 40% ensures perfect thermoregulation.
