The Kora "Yak" (10%) Ski Sock ended my long search for a good motorcycle touring sock. Most OTC socks today have little stretch, and fit tight on the calf, cutting circulation. The Kora sock has the right shape, lots of stretch, and a wide band to hold up the top without pressure. The cushion is just where it is needed, leaving good feel and control. The material stays dry and clean, and they can be pulled off without going inside out. The size is woven in to the inside.
These socks are the perfect level of warmth for my New Mexico hiking and camping adventures! They are also super comfortable.
Super comfortable, I have so far mostly worn it doing daily activities. I have also used it as a base layer beneath my motorcycle gear and stayed quite comfortable riding in the upper 30’s to upper 50’s. I liked it enough to order one of the base layer long sleeve shirts to try in place of my merino wool shirts.
I bought one for mountain biking Use it and loved it for its function it’s warm and looks good. I ordered three more I’m a large so one more large and on extra large ito use as a layer for skiing.. lastly I bought a medium to give to a good friend that I ski and bike with. He loved it . It’s rare you can find something this special to give as a gift.
Used at 69 degrees North for 3 weeks in February. Brilliant, love the fit of the hood, great for under helmets. Stayed fresh and clean when used with a base layer beneath. Long zip in front is also super practice for ventilation and for getting on and off easily.
