TSG protects against painful pedal kisses with socks

The Swiss protector specialist TSG is launching socks with protectors on the market in 2015. The Riot socks protect ankles and shins from unpleasant impacts, be it from spiking stones or slipping off the pedals.

Most mountain bikers know the pain of hitting a rock on the shin while riding at full speed. Sometimes such "encounters" end in bloodshed. Pedal kisses are just as painful. TSG prevents this with the Riot Socks. These socks with a ribbed cuff protect the shins with three-part padded inserts made of shock-absorbing NBR material. The ankles are also protected by additional padding.

The Riot socks will be available from specialist retailers at the beginning of March 2015.
