Le Bent Cody Townsend Pro Series Snow Sock Black

Le Bent Cody Townsend Pro Series Snow Sock Black

Cody Townsend's award winning pro series sock re-invented what a snow sock could look and feel like. A sock built with the technical insight and direct skin track feedback from one of the world's most respected big mountain turned backcountry skiers. Crafted from our Signature Merino Blend, the sock ensures exceptional breathability, temperature regulation and comfort by melding the luxuriously soft on-skin properties of Rayon from Bamboo and the unrivalled odour resistance of merino wool - meaning Cody can wear them for a week straight if he wants.

The Definitive Fit System™ and our proprietary foot moulding Memory Stretch™ delivers a precise form fit, with a semi-compression zero cushion profile, ventilation panels for airflow on the boot pack and an anti-wrinkling, elasticated instep that doesn't bunch underfoot. Innovative silicone strips on the heel and upper calf keep the sock locked in place, aided by a technically knit achilles support band that drastically minimizes heel lift while you hike, eliminating blisters and hot spots.

Now entering its fifth season, we've made our biggest technical update to this sock since the original Le Send turned into the Pro Series. We removed the additional toe-box cushioning after feedback from Cody and the backcountry community that it was no longer necessary with modern touring boots. A revolutionary sock with a technical, yet natural aesthetic. Inspired by the sculpted peaks, shadowed chutes and fifty lines that Cody Townsend searches for.

Our signature blend:merino wool and rayon from bamboo

Our unique blend of materials came from an idea to challenge the status quo. Unsatisfied with the feel and fit of what existed before, we used experience, technology and a helping hand from science to craft our signature blend. The benefits are unrivalled.

They need no introduction, just a helping hand or foot to come together.

On paper, it's an unlikely romance - merino and bamboo. Although the latter is technically a grass, and therefore beloved by the former. what makes the two materials so compatible is their differences. Individually rayon from bamboo and merino wool are world-class materials, but combined, they form a bespoke yarn that redefines what we thought was possible in a fabric.

No itch technology

Rayon crafted from bamboo has a luxurious softness similar to silk and cashmere, and a springiness you'd expect from the almost elastic plant. The fibres are smoother and rounder with no sharp spurs to irritate the skin. Those with irritations to merino tend to have no reaction to our signature blend. It's itch free comfort, so soft and comfortable you'll want to sleep in it. And we do.

Temperature regulating

A powerful insulator that naturally regulates body temperature in all conditions, warm in the cold and cool in the heat. The air trapped inside the micro fibre gaps retain and regulate the thermal energy created by the body. As the body heats up, any moisture is evaporated, cooling the air between the skin and fabric. A natural thermostat that leaves you regulated day in day out.

Keeps you dry + uv protection

Rayon from bamboo and merino provide a leading wicking agency. The fiber cross-sections are covered with micro-gaps giving the fabric leading moisture absorption and ventilation properties. Naturally moves sweat away from the skin leaving you drier longer.

Odour control

Helps control odour producing bacteria by delivering a dry, moisture free environment that keeps you hygienic and odour free even when worn multiple times - trust us, as (sometimes) unwashed outdoor guru's, we've tested this one almost excessively.
