New Sponsor: Swiftwick


I love Swiftwick socks. We sell them out at Gear West and they are without a doubt the best socks on the market. See below for proof:

  • Kevin O'Connor says they are the best socks in the world. QED. (QED is an abbreviation for quod erat demonstrandum and is used after proving an argument's conclusion logically follows from its premises. This is probably the first concrete use of my philosphy degree from school, even if I'm using it to make a joke. Who doesn't love philosophy jokes?)
  • Their socks that use Olefin, the only Nobel Prize winning fiber ever, retain less than .01% of their weight in moisture.
  • The linked toe removes seams from the toe box so you don't have to worry about chafing and they NEVER bunch up annoyingly.
  • Everyone that buys a pair from the shop to try comes back a week later and buys 5 more.
  • They are hand crafted by magic sock elves*.

For all of these reasons I'm very excited that Swiftwick has extended a sponsorship and I will now get to wear their hats, t-shirts and most importantly socks all the time.

If you've never tried a pair come out to Gear West, we have the full line.

Have fun and train safe.
