Socks are a critical piece of gear for me, and Swiftwick was already my go-to sock brand for cycling and running. And now the brand new Swiftwick Pursuit Ultralight are THE socks for me for warm weather adventures. The use of fine-gauge, naturally moisture-wicking Merino Wool allows Swiftwick to make the Pursuit Ultralight thin, breathable, and extremely lightweight. That compression feel around my ankles with the seven inch cuff is a feature of Swiftwick socks I’ve come to love, and the Pursuit Ultralight retains that secure feel. These socks stay put, too. There’s no blister-causing movement here. The Pursuit Ultralight has reinforced heel and toe for added durability.
With a full range of cuff lengths available, from the no-show Zero to Seven (7″), there’s something to fit almost every cuff preference.
Ideal Users: Cyclists, Runners, Golfers
Bottom Line
The ultimate warm weather socks for cyclists and runners.
Cuff Lengths Available:
- Zero: $16.99
- One: $17.99
- Four: $19.99
- Seven: $21.99 (tested)
