tanmanski Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 OK, i'm admittedly totally old school (1990's HO extreme 9.5 with venom double boots) so maybe im dealing with a problem that no longer exists? I use a neoprene sock on my back leg to avoid getting a bruised calf from spray kick and would like to find a new one, but I'm having a hard time finding one? Anyone know where I can buy neoprene slalom calf socks? thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanmanski Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 looks like Barts still has them, under $20, don't know why I couldn't find them first time I looked... and yes, I know, "real" men don't wear them, but I don't need more ski pain than I already have!

Baller Waternut Posted August 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2015 Some ski's are worse than others but there are ski's made today that still cause this problem. The bruising and pain goes away after 2-4 sets and you never have another problem until the beginning of next year. You do have to ski more than a couple times a month though. Looks and lack of manliness aside, those things are super uncomfortable IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gsm_peter Posted August 22, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 22, 2015 Camaro sell spraylegs. I consider spray being an obsticle when skiing. Must be doing something wrong at my slow speed. When not use a spray leg ontop of my blacktec the wetsuite get sprayed up to my knee. I am normal size type 75 kg/178pounds and use a size M so that is not the issue. Use a cut off old wetsuite leg/arm that fits tight. Best luck Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted August 24, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted August 24, 2015 I believe the example above is that of a thigh high sock(s). This would be more of a calf style. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted August 24, 2015 Baller Share Posted August 24, 2015 Try a sporting goods store. My kid has a pair of neoprene calf covers for shin splints when he runs hurdles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted August 24, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted August 24, 2015 @OB1 Yeah, I laughed. But I think you're underestimating how tough women are :smile: . If you can make it through childbirth, I'm guessing some water hitting your leg doesn't even register... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
