The ideal sock for demanding rides in warmer climates, where breathability and targeted support are most crucial. To create an ultralight sock that’s as comfortable as it is supportive, Assos took a hard look at the yarns themselves. Testing in warm-weather conditions eventually led to Hydrogen, a buttery-soft microfiber that’s blended with Lycra to deliver a light compressive hold along the foot, ankle, and lower leg using a seamless construction. From there they targeted the arch, wrapping it with a ribbed band of airy mesh for further support and boosted breathability, along with a contrasting band along the Achilles for a clean finish.

Styled to match the hottest days, the Assos monogramSocks evo8 are classic in their length and modernist in their patterning. Made from a comfortable blend of Polypropylene, Elastane, and Polyamide, their construction guarantees breathability and improved airflow–crucial factors while cycling. Closely contouring the foot, they’re suited to intensive riding in summer conditions.
