A stretch fleece pocket is heat-bonded to the inner face of the sock at shin height. Inside this pocket is inserted an enriched silicone gel pad, 3 to 6 times more resistant and more flexible than standard silicone, measuring 18 x 6.5 cm. It is thus possible to remove this gel pad when washing the socks, then reinsert it into the pocket for the next use.
This process has the decisive advantage of avoiding machine washing a silicone gel pad. Its size of 18 x 6.5 cm allows it to cover the entire sensitive area of the shin, and the enriched silicone offers the best possible protection against the pressure exerted by ski boots on the shins.
The GelProtech Ski Wool thus perfectly achieves its objective of providing lasting protection for skiers from shin pain.
The "GelProtech technology" is protected by a registered patent.
The GelProtech Wool delivers all the softness, thermoregulation and antibacterial properties characteristic of a high-quality merino wool sock.
