US-made cycling socks, shoe covers and warmers from a North Carolina microsockery
Shane Cooper knitted the Aireator inside out in 1992 and kept knitting in North Carolina when much of the trade moved overseas. Merino and recycled yarns feed a custom sock studio, with team kits for Visma, Trek and Lotto. Socks carry a five-year guarantee and a 90-day shop return window.
