The Aireator is the sock that started DeFeet, designed in 1992 as the first cycling sock with an open mesh weave instep for breathability and moisture wicking. The lightweight and durable Aireator is available in a single and a double cuff, with the double cuff providing additional compression in the ankle zone to prevent slipping. This sock has a close fit in performance cycling shoes, and the fiber blend includes Repreve®, a recycled performance polyester locally manufactured from recycled plastic bottles, reducing landfill waste.
REPREVE® makes their recycled yarn by transforming local post-consumer waste into an amazing fiber. Their process embeds properties like wicking, adaptive warming and cooling, water repellency, and more at the fiber level.
REPREVE®'s process of making their recycled yarn reduces water usage by almost 20% compared to virgin polyester, and keeps more than 25 billion plastic bottles out of landfills and our oceans!
People around the globe are asking: How can we save our oceans from plastic pollution? We listened and came up with a meaningful way to address the problem head-on.
