OUR RIDING KIT ROAD

Pre-Race and Recovery

On the day of your event, we recommend heading to the start with a small bag containing a tool kit for pre-race needs, and a change of clothes for after the race.

Also, bring a windbreaker or a jacket to remove just before entering the starting corral. October mornings can be chilly in Fréjus.

Finally, regardless of your event during the Roc d’Azur, you will need to recover after your efforts. Trust EKOÏ socks and tights to promote blood flow and stimulate circulation.

Targeted compression reduces inflammation and improves lymphatic drainage, so you can get light legs back faster and walk the aisles of the expo for many more hours!
