Summer riding demands socks that manage heat without sacrificing structure. Giordana's FR-C Tall Solid Sock addresses both with Meryl SkinlifE yarn, a fiber that combines anti-bacterial properties with active temperature regulation. The 98% polyamide construction keeps weight low while the 2% Lycra content provides enough stretch to maintain position through long efforts. If you've dealt with socks that bunch inside shoes or slip down into heel cups, the ergonomic contouring here eliminates that distraction.

The 16cm cuff height hits the current aesthetic while offering genuine coverage above the shoe line. That extra fabric creates a clean visual transition from leg warmer to sock when layering in cooler conditions, and protects against sun exposure during summer months. The tall profile also provides more surface area for the temperature-regulating properties of the Meryl SkinlifE yarn to work effectively.

Giordana manufactures these in Italy using the same production standards applied to their racing line. The anti-static properties reduce the friction that causes irritation on extended rides, while the anti-stress construction maintains consistent compression without constricting blood flow to the foot. Available in solid colors that coordinate across kit options without competing for attention.
