SIDAS wins three European Outdoor Awards
The European Outdoor Award stands as a major benchmark in the outdoor industry, recognizing the most significant advances in innovation, research, and technology.
🥇 Winner of the Hiking category: T-Free Hike
Developed specifically for hiking, this sock was designed to bring the biomechanical benefits of natural big-toe movement to the trail. By allowing the big toe to move independently, the sock promotes a more natural stride while helping reduce tension during long days outdoors.
The jury was particularly convinced by:
- the big-toe isolation concept
- the comfort without the bulk
- the hiking-specific construction
