Ice sock
An ice sock is a sock filled with ice, used by cyclists participating in brevets (long-distance rides) to avoid overheating. A women's stocking is filled with ice, which the cyclist places inside their jersey on their back.[1] This is a low-cost and effective method to keep the cyclist's temperature in check and prevent overheating.[2]
Other mentions of ice socks include cold weather sock products to offer feet protection against cold weather, as well as ice melt socks to prevent ice dams on roofs.[citation needed]
