The Race V4 Socks are the current iteration of Alpinestars’ FIA-certified racing sock, built to the FIA 8856-2018 homologation standard from Nomex fire-resistant material. A wave structure maximises elasticity so the socks move with the foot in use, flat seams minimise pressure points during long stints behind the wheel, and durable construction resists the abrasion and wear that comes with regular competitive use. Lightweight design keeps the package from adding unnecessary bulk inside a racing boot.
The Race V4 Socks are aimed at motorsport competitors who need current FIA 8856-2018 certified fire-resistant socks as part of a homologated racing outfit. At £32.99, they deliver current-standard certified protection at a competitive price.
