The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

DIASPORTS® KIDSTARS are carefully packed. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transportation. The packaging is sustainable, as unnecessary packaging waste is avoided and no plastic is used. The product packaging contains one pair of KIDSTARS ski socks. Instructions for use are not required due to the simple handling, but care instructions would be desirable.

The KIDSTARS are characterized by an appealing, colourful design and are made of 30 % merino, 35 % acrylic, 15 % nylon, 17 % polyester and 3 % spandex. The workmanship is very good and there are no noticeable uneven transitions. The product is elastic yet retains its shape. The manufacturer has thought about sustainability, as the company supports various climate projects. The materials used also have a high-quality appearance, which means that a long service life can be expected.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

We washed the KIDSTARTS before wearing them for the first time. We can therefore say that the product retains its original shape after washing at 30 degrees . During the wear test, the product fits comfortably and is easy to put on and take off. The individual size gradations (23-26, 27-30, 31-34, 35-38) fit well. Particularly noteworthy is the elastic waistband, which ensures a non-slip fit . The manufacturer has also done away with annoying seams in the toe area. The material used is soft and warm. The high merino content in particular contributes to perfect thermoregulation . Moisture is effectively wicked away and feet stay dry without the unpleasant smell of sweat. Customers can currently choose between the colors blue, green, pink and turquoise as well as four different sizes.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*

*The maximum score is 100 points

Prices of up to €55 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €13 . The KIDSTARS from DIASPORTS® are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 19.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
