{"product_id":"big-bengal-socks","title":"Big Bengal Socks","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Santini Big Bengal Socks are designed for cyclists who take their kit seriously. At Rs. 1,990, these are a small investment that pays back across every ride — managing sweat, maintaining comfort inside your cycling shoes, and holding their shape wash after wash through the toughest Indian riding seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCycling in Pune's summer heat or climbing the Western Ghats toward Lonavala means your feet are working hard inside closed shoes. Moisture builds fast, comfort fades faster. The Santini Big Bengal Socks address this directly with performance fabrics built for breathability and sweat management. For Indian riders logging serious kilometres in 35°C+ conditions, a quality sock is far from trivial — it is one of the most underrated pieces of your kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantini socks follow European sizing — refer to the EU\/UK conversion chart based on your shoe size before ordering. Indian riders who find European socks slightly narrow in the forefoot or shorter in the toe box should consider sizing up by one. In warm cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, or Ahmedabad, a slightly roomier fit also allows better airflow inside your cycling shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese socks work across all cycling disciplines — road, gravel, and commuting. They are machine washable; wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, hang dry, and avoid fabric softener to preserve the technical fabric's performance properties. Compatible with all standard cycling shoe brands stocked at Cobbled Climbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your kit by pairing these socks with breathable cycling shoes, moisture-wicking bib shorts, a lightweight summer jersey, and a ventilated road helmet.
