CastelliBandito Wool 18 Sock(Return to Product Page)

I purchased both the Distanza and Bandito socks at same time. Bandito socks after a few washings are starting to pill and discolour whereas the Distanza socks are holding up.

Castelli needs no introduction to cyclist and these socks are the same. A nice thin sock with insulating wool for those cool to chilly days!

5 stars for comfort and wicking. I have these In gray and there's a noticeable difference in the fit between black and gray. I need to go a size up in black. I wonder if it's the dying of the wool. This is also true of the Flanders base layer. I have Black and gray in size medium and black is very small. Don't let this deter you. I have a lot of love for these garments. Just go up a size if black is your color.

These are a little on the thin side but they still keep your feet warm on cold days.

Likes: Castelli quality. Dislikes: a little thin and slippery which means your feet move more inside your shoe unless you really crank down on your Boa (or whatever cinch you have on your shoes). But then high and tight Boas take away from longevity and comfort. If I was racing, maybe these would be good but those days are over for me. Prefer a little more thickness in my socks, even on a hot day.
