The Elite Tall Sock gets a makeover with Pearl Izumi's commitment to recycled materials, some new features, and improved overall comfort. The Tall provides a tall 19.5cm cuff height with seamless toe construction and Lycra® powerband anatomic arch compression for superior performance and comfort. The Repreve XS Polyester body yarns are made from discarded water bottles, and as we've seen with many such fabrics, the performance has actually been improved. As you'd expect the tall cuff height style is modestly compressive and feels great next to the skin. Elite socks are loaded with the small, but crucial details that will make these your go-to when reaching in your sock drawer: the forefoot mesh releases heat and moisture for friction free performance in snug fitting cycling shoes, the seamless toe means blisters are almost an anachronism, and the arch band offers supportive compression and a no-slip fit.
