It is often said that, but for a cyclist, choosing the right socks is just as important as being well-groomed. To lead a rich and healthy life, it is essential to wear socks that feel great against the skin and keep you comfortable throughout the day. When selecting socks, one of the key features we look for is high moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance to handle sweat and humidity effectively.
Whether it’s for daily routines like commuting to work or school, or for enjoying activities like riding, running, camping, or trekking, we wanted socks that provide comfort and support for your feet at all times—socks you’d want to wear every single day. That is the philosophy behind our RAL HOSE series, and now, we are adding a brand-new model to the lineup!

¥1,800 (excl. tax)
Colors: Olive, Mustard, Grey
Sizes: S (23-25 cm), M (25-27 cm), L (27-29 cm), XL (29-31 cm)

Made in Japan
Like the Tabby Socks released last year in collaboration between The Athletic and SimWorks, this Tabi-style sock features a wool main fabric that offers moderate insulation for a wide range of seasons, excluding mid-summer, and a pile-knit sole for cushioning suitable for cycling as well as running and trekking.
Once you put them on, you’ll find the comfort addictive. They pull on easily and wrap your feet in a gentle embrace, so you’ll find yourself choosing them every morning when you head out. They are sure to become one of your favorite pairs. Of course, the use of wool also provides excellent moisture absorption and odor-resistant properties, which are unique to the Tabby.
Available in three understated colors—Olive, Mustard, and Grey—they also make a great accent for your outfit. The comfort of these Tabby socks is such that many people come back for more. We hope you’ll try them out!
RS HOSE
Ribbed Short Hose
¥1,800 (excl. tax)
Colors: White, Olive, Grey
Sizes: S (22–24.5 cm), M (25–27.5 cm), L (28–30 cm)
Materials: COOLMAX®, Polyester, Lycra
Made in Colorado, U.S.A
We also have the RS Hose, a staple model that has been very popular. Made with Core-Spun COOLMAX®, it boasts high advantages in breathability, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking properties. These features ensure comfort in the mid-summer heat and prevent sweat-induced chills in the winter by quickly wicking and dissipating moisture. With a 3-inch cuff and ribbed design, they are perfect for everything from casual wear to cycling styles.
To celebrate the release of the Tabby, we are offering a special campaign for those who purchase RAL products.

RAL products are created with the mindset that they should be useful tools for our daily lives—lives that revolve around the bicycle—and that they should be durable enough to stay with you for a long time. We hope you will take this opportunity to incorporate RAL into your daily life.
