Mavic is a pretty traditional company. Instead of hopping on trend trains, the French company has taken its time developing technology that focuses on safety and the reality of ride experience rather than appealing to the latest fads. But with the on-trend, 7in cuff on the Cosmic High Socks, Mavic tosses tradition out the window. The Cosmic High is made with odor-resistant Meryl Skinlife material, and the reinforced toe and padded metatarsal panel add durable comfort. The socks are breathable -- which we expect from cycling socks -- and are also assembled with an anatomic, left/right-specific fit -- a less common feature.
