Exceptio, as one of the UK’s leading independently owned performance speciality and lifestyle sock manufacturers, has reputation for high quality innovative products and first class service. This reputation, along with our mantra ‘to be the exception to the rule’ has at its core maximum comfort, cutting edge design and proven performance.
Stemming from an extensive 24 month development programme, the eight bespoke sock styles within the Exceptio Sport Cycling Collection unite high-end levels of functionality and proven performance with unique technical combinations of protection, comfort and warmth.
Compression
The decreasing areas of pressure in certain zones of the sock leads to greatly improved circulation allowing old blood out and new oxygenated blood into the region. This reduces muscle fatigue, minimises swelling and speeds recovery.
Support
Arch and ankle bracing offer additional support and minimises friction and sock movement.
Padding
Engineered and seamless increased fabric thickness provides greater protection without sacrificing moisture management.
Cushioning
Carefully positioned and constructed for superior softness, this provides relief for pressure points, reduces shock and supplies support, warmth and resistance.
Venting
Target-specific engineered venting via mesh panels is all about getting the heat out of places it doesn’t belong keeping your skin dry and cool.
Reinforcement
Utilising latest military proven yarns makes our socks extremely hard wearing.
Each Exceptio Sport Cycling style combines innovative attributes and inspired technical features providing an outstanding product with bespoke to discipline performance.
