TipSox: a padded sock for your ski tips

A small fix for a ski-day annoyance: skis that scratch, clack, and slide apart on the walk from the lot. Here's what TipSox do and who they suit, from tipsox.com.

Who TipSox are for

Anyone who carries skis over a shoulder, throws them in a car, or stacks them on a rack. The padding takes the knocks that chip topsheets and ding edges, and keeps the bases off each other.

The patches are the other half. Ski the East is "for skiers raised on East Coast hardpack." I'm Difficult is named for the black diamond. It's a way to spot your skis on a crowded rack, and an easy gift for a skier who already owns everything else.

Pick a patch

Every design is the same padded cover; the patch is the choice. Choose Your Patch also offers a Diamant collaboration patch.
