You know when you’re preparing for a big ride and you open your sock drawer, hoping your favourite pair aren’t in the wash? The Chromag Pace Socks are those socks.
Ethically sourced NZ merino wool, mid-weight, with a cushioned sole, these are slightly thicker than the Ridge sock.
We wanted to make a merino sock as it dries out quickly after creek crossings, and even keeps you warm when wet. Merino is quite frankly a magical material and is a superb high-performance natural alternative to synthetic fabrics.

MERINO WOOL
Wool is a great natural alternative to plastic synthetic fibres. It is low in energy and water consumption and exhibits extremely high performing properties. Merino wool fibres absorb and pull moisture vapour away from your body unlike synthetics which can only wick away the moisture once it has condensed. One square inch of skin on a merino sheep produces about 4 times as many wool fibres as other breeds of sheep.
Merino wool has paradoxical properties making it ideal for use year round. In the summer it is ideal for wicking moisture away from your body. In the winter, the natural structure of the fibre inherently blocks larger drops of water while continuing to wick away vapour. When vapour is absorbed into wool it binds to the chemical structure of the fibres and small amounts of energy are released in the form of heat. This principle is known as the “heat of sorption”.
