We have all heard of snow chains, those large, noisy and inconvenient devices people turn to when the snow sets in and shows no signs of departing. They provide valuable traction when driving on snow and ice, by increasing the friction between your tires and the slippery surface. Such devices have a place – undoubtedly – but sometimes, they are a little too severe. Indeed, they are best suited to areas with prolonged, heavy periods of snow – where roads are covered for weeks and it becomes difficult to imagine the environment within the blanket covering… And when was that last the case here in the UK? Our experiences with snow are rarely so extreme. Rather, the UK plays something of a game with wintry weather – experiencing a few days of snow, before milder weather returns. And repeat. Indeed, recent weeks have seen the snow descend and depart many times, making it difficult to believe spring will arrive any time soon. Given these circumstances, bulky snow chains are not the best option. Such a device would be impractical, potentially causing more delays than they could ever prevent. Instead, a snow sock could be the perfect solution for your tyres. Snow socks are ideal for temporary snow fall – the exact type of snow we frequently experience in the UK. They are quick and easy to fit over your tires, giving you valuable extra traction in slippery conditions, without unnecessary fuss. Even better, unlike snow chains, they need not be removed immediately when you reach a hard, gritted surface! Have you heard the ear-busting racket created by a snow chain when it hits such a surface? As well as damaging the chains themselves, the noise alone is enough to make driving concentration difficult to maintain. In contrast, snow socks do not cause additional noise or vibrations, ensuring that they do nothing to hinder the driving process. Thus, on days where the weather just cannot make up its mind – with a frosty morning, a sunny afternoon and then perhaps a smattering of snow in the evening – you can feel confident and prepared. Whatever the weather does, you can slip the snow socks on – or off – to match the conditions and make your journey safer.
