Last week, our Russian distributor Sportgrad presented X-Bionic Sportswear in Moscow at the Ispo Russia. Vadim of Sportgrad’s X-Socks team just sent me a photo of the stand. Well done, greetings to Moscow!

In comes another review of our X-Bionic UnderGear. This time from the Swiss business magazine moneycab. Author Helmuth Fuchs says “…if you have ever worn it, you don’t want to wear anything else anymore.”

Update: Added a rough translation.

Again, congratulations to all the winners!

This is what the Norwegian web site Syklistenes Landsforening has to say about X-Socks in their review. 6 out of 6 points for functionality!

Thanks to Knut from our Norwegian distributor Interplaza for pointing that out.

Update: Knut translated parts of the review for us:

Advanced socks

You don’t find socks more advanced than these

“We are used to advanced bicycles, shoes, jackets, gloves. This is not enough. Now also socks are build up in an advanced way. As many manufacturers of socks make socks in the same fabric and the same thickness all over the sock, X-Socks has gone in and defined where on the foot it is needed different functions. Then they make the socks with maximum wearing characteristic underneath the foot where the contact with the shoe is intense, they add a thick shockabsorbing material across the Achilles back on the heel, padding over the ankles, etc. etc. read more on www.x-socks.com”.

Scanning our web site statistics I noticed a couple visits coming from a taiwanese site. After following the link to Free Time Gears, I was impressed by the nice way of presenting our X-Socks. They show everything from the philosophy to the technology to the testimonials. Although I can’t read the characters, I must say: Well done!

One week has passed since the ispo winter 2006. It was nice to meet all the people in person (again). And it was a lot of people at the stand. We were pretty impressed and happy about the traffic at our stand and there are already some news. We are happy to introduce to you our new Czech and Slovakian distributor, Progress Cycle. Welcome aboard!

A lot more to come soon, so stay tuned…
