technologies and materials for a better absorption of vibrations, compression and avoiding unnecessary and damaging, and ensuring a greater comfort. By partnering with professional athletes, Northwave ® has designed, developed and created a new concept of design for application specific accessories for the practice of mountain bikes. In developing the line sock Northwave MTB Pro Line ® has been taken into account for example, the continual stress of the foot and the metatarsal area due to frequent tripping and hooking of the shoe from the pedal. The socks Northwave MTB Pro Line have in fact a special protection in these areas of the foot over traditional reinforcements tip and heel to cushion the rubbing. The thinner the yarn used, as well as ensure breathability and comfort, allows for greater interaction and awareness between foot and sole of the shoe, thanks to the reduced thickness. Also, as far as the gloves, Northwave MTB Pro Line presents an innovative design of the wristband with the task of ensuring freedom of movement and ease of reference of the heart rate. The gloves of this line presents the special protections in the areas of the palm made of foam and finish with thermo-welded. In areas of the back are special inserts for ventilation of the hand and protective reinforcements to the areas most exposed. Special microinjection pro silicone grip ensure excellent grip and sensitivity on the handlebars.
