KAI JONES
PRO SERIES SNOW SOCK
WHAT MAKES A SOCK... PRO?
For the past five years, we've been working with our pro team to develop socks that solve problems for them in the mountains.
For Cody Townsend, it was perfecting the touring sock with silicone heel grips and graduated compression. Next came Elyse Saugstad, who wanted a women's specific performance fit. For Xavier De Le Rue, it was a snowboard specific cushion profile, and for Sammy Carlson, a 'shin pad' of light cushioing to protect during heavy landings.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A KAI JONES PRO SERIES?
“Cody and Sammy are some of my favorite skiers. My style is more similar to sammy but I love to get out in the big mountains like Cody and ski mountaineer.
When it comes to creating a sock, I personally like Sammy's socks with their light padding which suits my riding.”
I want to include padding to protect from shin bang — something I experience in my style of riding with big landings.
Lé Bent already does such a good job innovating new technology in socks to help prevent issues like this, so i’m looking forward to providing my own feedback."

ABOUT KAI
When Kai was 11 years old his segment for TGR went viral and racked up 6 million views. That year he also won the North American Junior Freeride Series. He was nominated for Rider of the Year at IF3 Film Festival at 14 years old, and again a year later. Now at age 17, Kai has been a mainstay in TGR’s last five films, and earned the right to be called a legitimate “prodigy”.
Kai is leading the charge for the next generation of groms that jump off things, while also managing to be a favorite amongst the older guard.
