Burton Men's Performance + Ultralight Compression Socks | Gray Heather

Barely There, Locked In

The Burton Men's Performance + Ultralight Compression Socks in Gray Heather are for riders who want maximum boot feel. It's an ultralight merino blend with an over-the-calf compression fit, so there's almost nothing between your foot and a well-fitted liner.

Burton builds this one around breathability. DRYRIDE Ultrawick venting toe panels and drop needle construction let heat and moisture escape, the compression fit supports your feet and calves on active days, and an ergonomic, articulated left and right MotionFit means each sock is shaped for its own foot. A quick-drying, odour-resistant polypropylene reinforced footbed, Sock Lock reinforcements and a chafe-free link toe seam finish it off.

Best for: riders with snug performance boots, big hiking days, warm spring laps and anyone who runs hot.

Built for Australian Conditions

Most Australian riding is done in conditions that make your feet sweat: spring slush, sunny groomers and hikes up to the good stuff at Thredbo, Buller or the Main Range. A thin, breathable merino sock keeps your feet drier, and a dry foot is a warmer foot when the wind comes up on the chair. The ultralight knit also matters if your boots are packed out tight from heat moulding, where a thick sock can create pressure points.

Not for you if: your feet get cold easily or you want plenty of padding. Look for a midweight sock with more cushioning: browse our men's snowboard socks and use the filters.

FAQs

Will an ultralight sock keep my feet warm?
It's built for breathability and boot feel rather than bulk. Merino stays warm when damp and the thin knit moves sweat out, which helps on most Australian days. If you suffer from cold feet, a midweight sock is the safer pick for the coldest days.

What does the compression fit do?
Burton designs the snug compression fit to support your feet and calves on active days. It also stops the sock wrinkling inside your boot, which is a common cause of hot spots.

What size do I need?
On Burton's men's chart, S fits US men's 5.5 to 7.5 (EU 37 to 40.5), M fits US men's 7.5 to 10.5 (EU 40.5 to 43.5), L fits US men's 10.5 to 13.5 (EU 43.5 to 46.5). Call us on 03 9421 2293 or visit our Richmond showroom if you want to check it against your boots.

Why are there left and right socks?
Burton's articulated MotionFit shapes each sock to its own foot, so it sits flatter with fewer folds under the toes and around the heel.

Should I wear two pairs of socks in my snowboard boots?
No. One pair of proper snowboard socks is warmer and more comfortable than two. Doubling up bunches the fabric, creates pressure points and can restrict circulation, which makes cold feet worse.

About Burton
