The Assos socksSummer design isn't just faintly reminiscent of their Skinweb socks. Blindfolded, they feel indistinguishable. The socksSummer are light, soft, and airy -- exactly what you need to ward off the dreaded "hot feet" you can get during long summertime rides. We love thin socks, and Assos does another lovely rendition of them here.

What separates the socksSummer from the Skinweb are just a few details: (1) Most noticeable is the lack of a logo on the ankle. It's Assos' only no-logo sock, and in many respects we love that. The ribbed ankle cuff looks absolutely classic -- it's a small touch that goes a long-way fashion-wise. (2) These socks are made in Italy, not in Switzerland. There's a serious cost-savings to this, and it allows Assos to sell this sock in a 3-pack for less money than you'd pay for 2 sets of Skinweb socks.

The socksSummer comes in a 3-pack (that is, 6 total socks). It's available in solid white and solid black, in 3 sizes.
