These are simple Coolmax socks for use in the spring, summer and autumn, and at £6.50 a pair – or four pairs for £20 – you won’t get too upset when they eventually wear out or won’t come clean anymore.
They’re a consistent weave rather than a mesh but they keep your feet ultra-cool, and they virtually never get noticeably damp even if you’re riding hard on a hot day. The manufacturers give them a temperature range of 6-22°C and we’d say that’s about right – although cold blooded types might want something thicker when the mercury dips below about 10.
The Prendas socks are reasonably hard wearing. We’ve used them loads over the years and have always got a decent amount of life out of them – they’re certainly not prone to holes or quickly wearing through or anything like that. They’re very stretchy too so you can get a close, comfy fit without any ridges.
Apart from that, there’s not much else to say. They’re straightforward, they do the job well, and the heel and toe seems are so flat that you hardly notice them. For day-in, day-out use, these are a good choice at a bargain price.
As well as white, these are available in black, red and blue and with a range of different decorated tops. You can get World Champion, Italia and Peugeot designs, to name just a few.
Verdict
Cool and comfortable no-nonsense socks at a bargain price

UPDATE: since we received these socks to test they’ve gone up from £5.95 to £6.50, so we’ve amended the price. The multisaver (4 pairs for £20) still applies.
