Defeet Levitator Lite 5" Fausto Socks

The Levitator Lite includes some of DeFeet’s best technology. Setting out to improve on the original Aireator was no simple task. The result is an even lighter weight sock with 360 degree airflow around the mid foot and no reduction in strength and durability. It was an instant choice of top professional cyclists hungry for the finest thin sock they could own. Before and after World War II, Fausto Coppi was the dominant cyclist on the world stage. These socks bring back the vintage visions of his sinewy body, standing to roll over large gears on his way to five Giro wins, two Tours de France, and a World Road Championship. Reknowned for using substances to aid his riding, there is speculation as to how he passed away in 1960. Officially, malaria was listed as the cause. No matter what, we are fond of that era of cycling. It's imagery, black and white or colorized, is romance on wheels.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
