Who knew that socks would make about the same difference in drag as OSPW - but at a fraction of the cost.
The technology: Custom knitting machinery allows proudction of a sock with smooth frontal surface where the airflow is laminar, with the addition of 3 rows of turbulators starting just ahead of the flow separation zone. These turbulators introduce small vortices in the boundary layer which energize the flow and promote flow attachment further around the leg. More attached flow means a smaller pressure wake behind the leg, less wake = less drag. 4-8 watts drag reduction (when tested at 30-45kph) when compared to standard sock and equal to ribbed lycra socks of similar height
