Ideal for riders wanting a comfortable, breathable and durable sock for everyday road, gravel, commuting or club riding.
The Espresso 18 is a technical cycling sock designed to complement Espresso kit while working equally well for any ride. We like its balanced construction: the nylon provides everyday durability, while elastane adds the stretch needed for a secure, comfortable fit. The 18 cm cuff gives it a modern, higher-cut look without making the sock feel bulky.
For day-to-day riding, its breathable construction helps keep your feet comfortable across a wide range of conditions. Customer feedback also highlights the soft feel, comfortable fit, useful stretch and good climate regulation, with a thin enough profile to sit comfortably in cycling shoes. The sage colour adds a distinctive finish to your kit without being difficult to pair.
Choose the Espresso 18 when you want one dependable summer-weight sock for training, commuting, club rides and longer road outings. Sock sizing is based on shoe size, with S/M, L/X and XXL options available; check the size guide before ordering for the best fit.
