The yarn is breathable; wool dries fast and is naturally odor repellant. Wool can absorb almost one-third of its own weight in water and still be warm. We mostly use a blend of 80% merino wool + 20% polyamide. This combination is increases the durability of the socks. All merino wool is mulesing free. This means the sheep are not harmed while shearing the wool. Bamboo viscose Bamboo viscose has a high moisture absorption value and feels ultra-soft. It absorbs six times more moisture than cotton. Bamboo also has its environmental advantages: renewable and rapidly replenishable, it is an alternative to plastic fibers.

  • 10 Steps to the Perfect Ski-Boot! (The Process for Snowboard-Boots Is Very Similar)
    10 Steps To The Perfect Ski-Boot! (The Process for Snowboard-Boots is very similar) Step 1: Realize that you are unhappy with your ski boots Only you can judge what you want and what really fits. So: do not listen to others, friends or family – only to your own body”! Good advice from the specialist is here the most important input. Step 2: Segment the type of skier you are How well do you ski? What kind of pistes and where do you ski mainly? What is your style and hence to what should the ski-boot enable you to do? What ski-boot did you have so far – what was good/not so good about it? What was the flex index? Step 3: Measure the feet, legs and body axis Exact picturing and analyzing of your feet with a “PressCam” & Podoscope Video analysis and laser measurements to determine your body’s axis (e.g., for the correct canting) Step 4: Select the suitable ski boot Based on your measurements, your own boot and particularly the outer shell is examined for fit or a new one is chosen - your foot determines the correct length, width and volume of the shell needed From several options, the best fitting shell is chosen If needed, the shell can be adapted to specific needs (e.g., shortening of the bootleg, selective widening,…) Step 5: Determine the appropriate liner What are your demands of the line? How fitting, how strong, how warm should it be? Are you very active in the shoe or do you freeze easily? Do you have problem areas that should be considered (such as a Hallux, ankle injury, diabetes,…) ? With all these information points, the choice is made between the existing, a thermoforming or a foaming liner.

I am very excited to officially share with everyone our updated name. It was a very resounding YES vote at the November membership meeting to incorporate Adventure in the Club’s legal name. Our Club is very successful, contrary to the downward trend for similar organizations, and to our credit, we are actively growing each year. This season we have approximately 147 members on ski trips, and 122 members on non-ski trips. With a membership total of 333, that’s remarkable! The addition of Adventure to the Club’s name acknowledges our enormously successful trips to exotic travel destinations. Look for our new updated logo the first of the year. In the spirit of the season, please remember to make your donation to the Club’s 2018-2019 Operation Warm Campaign. We hope to raise enough money to donate 200 brand new warm winter coats to the more than 400 homeless Roanoke City Public School children. Our gift of a brand-new winter coat empowers children by sparking confidence and self-pride in a way that second-hand clothing cannot. A new warm coat offers physical and emotional warmth, confidence to socialize and succeed, and hope of a brighter future. Please know that 95¢ of every $1 donated, goes directly to our coat purchase program. I wish all of you a happy, healthy holiday and a season full of love and laughter.
