Review on Giro Socks Highlight Yellow Black by Jason Lee

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Light colored legs show better

Purchased because of a July 1 Wall Street Journal article, "How Cyclists Can Stay Safe on the Road," which reported on a recent study by a Clemson University professor. In the study, observers were more than three times more likely to spot a cyclist wearing fluorescent socks or leggings than when the cyclist wore black leggings and a fluorescent tank top. This is because "people get to know other people really well" and the human eye perceives leg movements much earlier than a stationary object like the torso. At the same time, the socks are very comfortable; I will buy more. I hope that clothing manufacturers will start offering colorful tights soon!

Pros
  • 1 year manufacturer warranty
Cons
  • Doubtful
