Designed to be the ultimate riding sock, the Orbit is the most thought-out sock ever made for snowboarders. Special pad up the back of the calf made of a tri-weave custom yarn. Padding continues around the shin. Foot top has two padded islands inside the Aireator mesh. Toes and foot bottom are also padded consistently. The Orbit stays right where you put it, no matter how hard the riding or how high you fly. Made of the best Merino wool we can find. Orbit needs to be ridden to be believed. Massive, untracked glades in the back country of British Columbia. Rutted out GS courses with holes hiding in every third turn. Soft, deep fluff at the bottom of a 20 footer in a back bowl. Snow so hard that racer #89 down the slalom gets a perfect course. Snow is water that is changing form with each passing minute of every day. Riding a ski or snowboard is a lesson in adaptation. DeFeet ski and snowboard socks provide an unprecedented feel for what is happening with your connection to the snow.

When DeFeet entered the winter sports market, we went straight to the top athletes in the world to help design our products. The result, in it's very first year, was an overall alpine World Cup victory for DeFeet ski socks. DeFeet has broadened its winter line to include the most advanced snowboard sock ever: the Orbit. DeFeet has made the same commitment to snow sports socks that we made in cycling and running: Craft the finest socks for the most discerning users, then make them available to everyone.

Wool is a staple of the DeFeet line. We source the highest grade wools on the planet. Combined with DeFeet construction, the result is the finest wool sock that you can buy. The DeFeet wool line is continually growing. Wool has attributes that can't be found in other fibers. DeFeet wool socks stay cooler in the heat because of the construction of the mesh. They stay warmer when they are wet and in cooler temperatures because of the amazing thermal properties of wool.
