Chapeau's Lightweight cycling sock has been a firm favourite since it arrived. It's made from fast wicking Polyamide - ideal for keeping your feet at the right temperature.
The blend is 50% Polyamide, 45% Coolmax and 5% Elastane. Coolmax is the vital ingredient here: it's a brilliant polyster fabric which draws perspiration along its fibres, wicking it away from the skin and keeping your feet comfy.
It has a taller ankle style and a padded sole, giving a good balance between performance and comfort and of course it looks amazing!
Washing instructions are all pretty standard; 40 degree wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron and do not dry clean.

Chapeau! Size Guide
As a UK company, Chapeau's sizing is fairly true to UK body shapes. It is cut for road riding, though, so bear in mind that if you like your cycling kit to be less than figure hugging you should choose a size up.
If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us.

Fitting Advice for Chapeau bibs - To make sure your bibs are right for you, you want them to fit tighter rather than looser. This will help the pad stay in the correct position when pedalling and allow the 'compression' qualities of the fabric to work properly.
Chapeau suggest you compare these flat measurements to a comparable piece of kit that you know fits you well, and select your size on that basis.

We admired Chapeau! from afar for years before finally consummating our relationship and finding a loving way to offer our customers their beautiful kit.
Based in Exeter, they are a truly British team - something that reflects in their designs as well as their attention to technical detail.
So what kind of folk are they? We think they hit a great balance between a true passion for cycling and a refusal to take it (or themselves) too seriously. They hate cycling stereotypes, love cake, hate cycling snobbery, love inclusivity. They respect cyclists of all types, look after their bikes and kit like their own children, and truly want to share their passion with others.
In short, they're our kind of people. And the proof couldn't be clearer: 'Chapeau!', in case you weren't aware, is French for 'hat', and is the traditional cycling parlance to pay tribute to a fellow cyclist's efforts.
We say 'Chapeau!' to them.
Standard UK delivery is usually 2-3 working days. We use Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service - you will receive a tracking code with your order.
