SockGuy Flyweight Red is a knee high TurboWool sock with a lightly padded charcoal shin pad. It sits between a thin crew sock and a fully padded knee high ski sock.

What it's for

Flyweight is for skiers, snowboarders, and anyone who wants a knee high sock inside a tall boot without the bulk of a fully padded ski sock. SockGuy describes it as the option for when a crew sock is too little and a padded knee high is too bulky.

How it works

TurboWool: SockGuy's yarn made of 50% merino wool and 50% polypropylene. SockGuy states it is five times stronger than merino wool alone

Shin pad: a lightly padded charcoal panel on the shin cushions the front of the leg against the boot

Insulation: the wool blend is itch free and is meant to regulate temperature

Shrink resistant: the blend is made to hold its size through washing

Support: arch support and articulated ankle support keep the sock in place

Mesh upper: an open knit over the top of the foot lets air through

Heel and toe: double stitched nylon for durability

Sizing and fit

• Small/Medium: women's shoe 6 to 10, men's shoe 5 to 9
• Stretch-to-Fit sizing: the knit stretches so each size covers a wide range of foot sizes

Care and service

• Washing: turn the socks inside out, then wash and dry on cool or low heat
• Fabric softener: do not use it
• Graphics: the design is knitted into the sock, so it does not fade off like a print
• Warranty: SockGuy covers its socks for one year from purchase
