Our latest independent aero testing is up on the Fast or Fiction YouTube channel. Link is below in our Signature.
A few notes:
This video is as much about explaining air flow around the body and why creating turbulence can be a good thing.
Of course, the video is dropping on the one day a week I see clients anymore, so I'll do my best to answer questions throughout the day, but they may be delayed. I do believe Josh Poertner (owner of Silca) will try to take some time out of his busy schedule to answer questions as well.
Calf sleeve testing will be out in 2 weeks. That ended up interesting, as well.

A few notes:
- We purchased these on our own without the manufacturer knowing what we were doing.
- Only after the testing was complete was the manufacturer made aware of the results.
- We used the AeroLab AeroPro sensor for testing.
- We tested the Tall version of the socks as I thought this would likely result in the best gains.
- This was originally a test between the Silca socks vs Rule 28, but it quickly became evident that the results were pretty much identical and the Silcas were much more likely to be used in competition because they're easier to put on in transition.
- We did have issues with the Rule 28's falling down around the ankles a bit (another important reason to test in real world conditions). No athlete experienced any such problem with the Silcas.
- They are, in fact, ridiculously comfortable.
