A Chic with Stix would like to introduce Hocsocx®, the new performance socks! Hocsocx performance socks are a high performance sport sock with exceptional protection from shinguard rash with added support compression that performance athletes should have.

Hocsocx® are a knee high Nylon & Spandex sock designed to protect the skin under the shinguard from irritation and rash. Hocsocx come in fun, whimsical patterns, as well as solid colors which are available in women’s, youth and men’s sizes. They are thin, but add no bulk in the athletic shoe and are durable and designed to last! Hocsocx outperform rash guard sleeves because they don’t ride up or fall down.

Hocsocx® Explained 3 Important “P”s:

PREVENTION

Hocsocx® are liner socks worn under shin guards and provide very specific benefits. Their special breathable nylon/lycra blend is designed specifically as shinguard rash protection. They are exceptionally comfortable, stay in place and are superior to shinguard sleeves because they don’t ride up or fall down. For added comfort, the top wide band stays in place without binding.

Athletes who wear shinguards frequently develop skin irritation resulting in chronic rashes, sometimes known as Shin Guard Rash. Hocsocx® provide a physical barrier that protects skin, prevent a rash from shinguards and include wicking properties that keep moisture away from aggravated areas.

As added bonuses, the physical barrier helps avoid buildup of sweat and germs, not only extending the life of the shin guards, but also preventing unpleasant odors.

PERFORMANCE

Hocsocx® are a high performance sport sock with exceptional protection, comfort and support compression that athletes require. Hocsocx breathable blend of nylon/lycra (spandex) has been reformulated to increase the spandex to 15%.

Clinical trials prove that wearing even mild support before, during and after physical activity improves blood flow to the muscles, increasing the rate at which waste and by-products leave the muscles. The end result is a reduction in muscle fatigue, quicker muscle recovery and increased physical performance.

The incredibly thin, durable Hocsocx design withstands high impact performance, without adding extra bulk in the athletic shoe like other shin guard socks. It performs better than compression sleeves or shin guard sleeves that tend to fall or ride up, or add too much compression.

PERSONALITY

Hocsocx® are knee high, available in womens, mens and girls sizes and come in fun, whimsical patterns as well as solid colors. Why wear boring sports socks when you can wear sox with purpose and personality? Got team spirit? We can help with team orders too.

A Chic with Stix is proud to announce the addition of a new field hockey brand to its inventory… Zoppo!

Zoppo is an international brand, who sells sticks and products around the world. Zoppo is based in England and started selling hockey sticks over 20 years ago, firstly in the United Kingdom, and then after 4 years through agents around the world. Recently, Zoppo has started to grow in interest in the United States.

Firstly, Zoppo started with junior and club player sticks, and then within 12 months they introduced sticks of international quality, next adding bags, and accessories to the range.

The brand grew quickly, following exposure with a number of GB international players, like Jason Laslett and Brett Garrard, in the early days, and more recently Richard Smith. However, you don’t have to be playing at a particular level to use Zoppo products – all you need is the desire to narrow the gap between how you play at the moment and how you’d really like to play.

All of the Zoppo creators and staff are talented field hockey players. They are absolutely dedicated to their brand of equipment. Like you, they’ll take any opportunity to make things better!

Be sure to check out our selection of Zoppo sticks under the Field Hockey tab. We know you will fall in love. Check our store hours so you can set some time aside to try out these awesome Zoppo sticks. We hope to see you soon!
