Qik Evo Light h19 socks
Breathability, lightness and insulation, these are the characteristics of the Light socks, made by using the Light Dry technology. In situations of not too intense activity, the fabric used allows the sweat to escape towards the outwards. While during the most intense activity, the sweat produced in the form of liquid is transferred from the hottest part (skin) to the coldest part and then towards the outside, always keeping the skin dry and the temperature constant. Wearing a Light sock, means wearing a barrier against the outside climate, yet at the same time breathable, keeping the skin cool on hot days. A light and comfortable sock, thanks to its low specific weight, as well as insulating more effectively than wool. The cream color effect is due to the contrast of the Light Dry fabrics with the optical white of the Polyamide used in the reinforced areas such as the heel and toe.
Features
Power Transmitter Ergonomic Sole
Ergonomic insole with differentiated thickness zones. Modelled on the sole of the foot, it guarantees greater thickness in the areas of higher pressure and transmission of energy with the shoe, also providing a pleasant sensation to the touch. Less thickness and lighter weaving in the remaining areas to provide greater breathability and air circulation.
Chess Grip
Alternating raised inserts at the metatarsal stabilizes the sock inside the shoe during pushing, transmitting maximum force to the pedal.
NoSeam
Thanks to the most modern production machines, it is possible to apply seamless technology, which eliminates seams and guarantees no discomfort to the foot.
RvsL
Right vs Left: Anatomical construction of the sock differentiated between right and left foot to ensure comfort and proper fit.
Fix Compression Bridge
Comfort and maximum stability! The bridge and arch of the foot are wrapped in the sock like second skin, guaranteeing unique stability during movement and at the right compression to facilitate blood flow, thus improving the oxygenation of the muscles and therefore speeding up recovery.
No-Block-Cuff
What’s more annoying than a leg-tightening rubber band or worse than a falling sock? Qik's elastic wristband with No-Block-Cuff system adheres perfectly to the leg supporting the sock but without tightening.
Heel Guard
High density inserts that protect the heel and dampen the pressure.
Technologies
Light Dry fiber
This is a high-performance yarn in terms of breathability, insulation and lightness. During situations of non-intensive activities, it allows the heat to evaporate outwards, in the form of steam, however during intensive activities, thanks to the low coefficient absorption of liquids (hydrophobic action) and the triboelectric action, the sweat produced in the form of liquid is transferred from the warmest part (skin) to the coldest part towards the outside, always keeping the skin dry and the temperature constant. The thermoregulation is favored by the very low thermal conductivity which makes it more insulating than wool. Therefore results as a barrier towards the outside climate but yet at the same time breathable keeping the skin warm in winter and cool in summer. Body temperature management is an important factor in sports performance: the body produces more heat under stress, ranging from 1-1.5 kcal per minute to 6-7, up to 15-20 kcal per minute, depending on the sport. To this, adding the variation of the temperature from the external environment in relation to which, the body reacts by dissipating heat, especially in the form of steam above 18 °C. Under extreme conditions of high humidity and external ambient temperatures, the body loses heat through skin vasodilatation (resulting in increased blood flow to the skin) and increased sweat production. The muscles will therefore have a lower blood supply which consequent to lack of oxygen. Another fundamental characteristic is lightness, due to its low specific weight, without sacrificing comfort and thermal insulation.
