Aero Sock","description":"Our development team has closely collaborated with pro athletes - including ColoQuicks, Frederik Muff - to extensively test the aerodynamic properties and optimal technical material composition of the Aero Sock. The result is that the contoured shaft of the Aero Sock provides evident advantages at several moments during a road race.\n\nThe Aero Sock is the optimal choice at speeds when drafting in a peloton - as well as at maximum speeds, reaching up to 70 km\/h during a sprint. And at time trial speeds, our Best Speed materials are only marginally faster.\n\nThe shaft of the Aero Sock reduces wind resistance, making them faster than bare skin. The anatomical fit, along with a thin finishing silicone grip, ensures that the shaft stays in place. Because the fact is, a sliding shaft has a greater negative effect than if an aerodynamic sock were not used at all.\n\nThe foot of the sock features a reinforced heel zone and ventilated areas around the foot, ensuring the highest comfort. The Aero Sock is suitable for both women and men.","brand":"FUSION","offers":[{"title":"White\/Grey \/ 38-40","offer_id":48482742174023,"sku":"82-AC-SO-1120_82-AC-SO-1120-WHG-38-40_353200_353300","price":67.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Grey \/ 41-43","offer_id":48482742206791,"sku":"82-AC-SO-1120_82-AC-SO-1120-WHG-41-43_353200_353301","price":67.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"White\/Grey \/ 44-46","offer_id":48482742239559,"sku":"82-AC-SO-1120_82-AC-SO-1120-WHG-44-46_353200_353302","price":67.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/9163\/6826\/files\/TEMPO-Aero-Sock_1120_White-grey_1_v2-10951796_7692214f-edf4-4f66-a737-8245fb7e15c7.jpg?v=1790317824"},{"product_id":"tempo-pro-aero-sock","title":"TEMPO!
