Out Of Peloton Pro Team Aero Cycling Socks

The Out Of Peloton Pro Team Aero are aerodynamic cycling socks designed for cyclists who want to get the most out of every watt developed. Made entirely in Italy with high-quality Italian technical yarns, they are designed to reduce aerodynamic drag on the lower leg, one of the areas that most affects the drag coefficient (CdA).

Thanks to their technical construction, these socks can contribute to savings of up to 5-10 watts at race speeds, offering a tangible advantage during competitions, time trials, and high-intensity training. Their effectiveness has made them a popular choice even among numerous World Tour athletes.

Aerodynamic socks designed to reduce drag

When every second counts, even equipment can make a difference. The Pro Team Aero Socks are developed to reduce aerodynamic drag around the lower leg, where air resistance has the greatest impact on performance.

At race speeds, a pair of aerodynamic socks can provide savings of up to 5-10 watts at 45 km/h compared to traditional cycling socks. For this reason, they have now become an essential item of clothing used by professionals, on par with aero helmets and race suits.

Made in Italy technical fabrics

The Pro Team Aero are produced in Italy using premium Italian technical yarns, from the same manufacturers that make fabrics for several World Tour teams.

The knitted structure is composed of two functional zones:

Upper aerodynamic zone

The upper part uses a ribbed technical fabric designed to:

• disrupt airflow;
• reduce turbulent wake;
• improve aerodynamic efficiency at high speeds.

Ultra-breathable foot panel

The foot section uses extremely lightweight yarns that guarantee:

• high breathability;
• effective moisture management;
• optimized ventilation during prolonged efforts;
• UV protection UPF 50+.

How many watts do aero socks save?

Aerodynamic tests show that aero socks can reduce air resistance by 3-10 watts at 45 km/h, compared to normal cycling socks. The actual value depends on speed, leg shape, and wind angle.

For a cyclist maintaining an average of 35 km/h, this translates roughly to an energy saving of 2-3% at the same speed: a marginal advantage that, over long distances, can turn into a concrete benefit.

The Out Of Peloton Pro Team Aero are optimized to work in the transition zone between laminar and turbulent flow. The particular ribbed structure generates controlled micro-vortices that keep the airflow adhering to the leg, reducing pressure wake and improving aerodynamic efficiency.

Height compliant with UCI regulations

The height of the Pro Team Aero complies with UCI regulations for road and time trial competitions.

The socks are designed to reach the maximum limit allowed by the regulations, thus offering the best compromise between compliance and aerodynamic advantage.

Fit and sizes

The Pro Team Aero are available in four sizes:

• S
• M
• L
• XL

Compatible with EU sizes from 36 to 47.

To obtain the maximum aerodynamic benefit during competitions, it is advisable to choose the tightest size, so that the fabric remains perfectly taut without creating wrinkles.

For training and long rides, the usual size guarantees superior comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do aero socks really save watts?

Yes. Wind tunnel tests confirm savings between 3 and 15 watts, depending on speed. At typical group ride speeds (35-40 km/h), the real benefit is generally between 3 and 5 watts.

Are Out Of Peloton Pro Team Aero UCI approved?

Yes. The height is designed to comply with UCI regulations for both road races and time trials.

What is the difference between Storm Aero and Vortexx RTR?

The Storm Aero prioritize maximum breathability for use on warmer days.

The Vortexx RTR, on the other hand, use a more aggressive turbulator structure, specifically developed to obtain maximum aerodynamic advantage in time trials.

How long do the aerodynamic properties last?

By following the correct washing instructions, the socks retain their aerodynamic characteristics for over 50 washes. The Italian technical yarns are also designed to resist stretching and maintain their original fit over time.
