To the Outdoorsman, preparation can often be the key to success, especially when dealing with mother nature. Some of the best hunting & fishing opportunities occur when the weather extremes are at their worst. Many of these best opportunities have also been lost due to inadequate preparation, especially when choosing what goes inside our footwear or over our skin. If you think socks cannot make a difference, then you need to look again at Vitalsox and at the superior technology that goes into each and every product made. Crafted in Italy by Arcos Spa, Vitalsox has products made of Silver DrySTAT which has patented circulatory and thermal regulating properties that will only enhance your experience with Mother Nature. Always be prepared and to make sure you are covered for all the nasty stuff WEAR VITALSOX!

AB-X REINFORCEDThe exclusive Absorber Extreme Cushioning System impacts during daily activities thanks to the specially reinforced internal structure of the sock.The exceptional Long Lasting Cushioning System provides constant shock absorption while the good reactivity of the fabrics maintains their original shape.
WELLNESSfrom SILVERThe use of silver as an anti-bacterial and healing agent goes back to ancient Greece. Long before modern pharmaceuticals, it was even used as an antibiotic and germicide. Understanding that polypropylene is recognized as a very good wicking fiber, Arcos Spa developed a patented fiber, adding silver ions in the manufacturing process, creating Silver DryStat®.
Because silver ions are built right into the core of the fiber, they inhibit the growth of bacteria and moulds reducing unpleasant smells and keeping biological skin balance during athletic activities.As we know, body temperature is crucial for comfort during physical activity, therefore, Silver DryStat® becomes fundamental due to its extraordinary insulating powers. The water absorption index in Silver DryStat® is almost nil, it has a low conductivity and moisture is kept away from the skin.
So, if you are climbing the Himalayas, running a marathon or walking in the park wearing Silver DryStat® socks, then you are assured a perfect equilibrium between temperature and relative humidity even in the most extreme weather conditions. Manufactured by Arcos, an Italian-basedcompany, Silver DryStat® can withstand harsh weather conditions, sun, sweat and humidity. In addition, it is 100 per cent recyclable and does not pollute the environment.

THE ONE AND ONLYPATENTED GRADUATED COMPRESSION SOCK Compression is not a new technology; it has been used for years in medical patients with venous and arterial insufficiency. However, the application of this technology to athletics is relatively new. There is clear evidence to support compression use in promoting recovery after a race or hard workout to provide a substantial benefit. As a result venous stasis and swelling can be avoided, there will be an improved blood flow after a workout, enhanced nutrient delivery and removal of waste product to and from muscles is created for optimal muscle repair, reduced stiffness and leg heaviness.Several studies have demonstrated that post exercise blood lactate levels were lower with compression sock use both during and after exercise.Other studies have demonstrated that compression socks do create a major fluid shift in the body. Compression garments are believed to improve venous blood return to the heart and allow for better cardiac output (flow of oxygenated blood from the heart) thereby aiding oxygen delivery to working muscles and increased endurance.
