Decent socks are vital and worth spending a bit on imho. Don't anybody, ever, bother with the foot and blister hell that is the tube sock.


I'm with the sock people.

I'm due for some new ones as I wear them all year round (my comfort blanket) and they're wearing a bit thin. I absolutely love my salomons (they've got falke sk1w written on the bottom). Does anyone have a good suggestion for what to replace them with?

sorry ise, off thread.

This is a retailer I have used in the past, and they have been fine.

Oh no... it's true... I do want socks for Xmas! 8)


But back on thread... my top bit of kit I reckon is the Sportube - no worries about skis getting baggage-mangled, fitted with wheels and a grt big handle that make it easy to carry and trundle around airports... top.

So true, however they are quite heavy,and some un-enlightened airlines/ Tour Ops are putting a weight restriction on ski bags. In some cases an unrealistic 6kg :twisted:
Always check da small print!


I had a Sportube, but I sold it, as all my skis were too fat to fit.

How's my Steeze doing :D
