Description

A true workhorse of a sock, the Sealskinz Waterproof Warm Weather Ankle Length Socks with Hydrostop are designed to keep you dry and comfortable during wet and warmer temperatures. Providing the right balance of breathability and waterproof protection, they’re the perfect choice for warm dewy mornings, summer runs, and spring hikes. Wet feet can lead to all sorts of issues outdoors including blisters, numbness and worse. Sealskinz Waterproof Warm Weather Ankle Socks with Hydrostop will keep you dry, protected, and comfortable through puddles and muddy terrain, rainy walks with the dog, and even out fishing.

In serious downpours water can bead up on bare legs and calves and egress into the socks through the top. So Sealskinz invented Hydrostop™, a silicone-like (although it is silicone-free) elastic taping around the inside cuff of the sock. This added protection reduces the chances of water dripping down your leg into your sock. Problem solved. Featuring a three-layer bonded construction that combines a bamboo lining for moisture control and comfort, a 100% waterproof hydrophilic membrane, and a durable nylon blend exterior with 4-way stretch for great fit and wearability.

Particularly noteworthy is the unmatched breathability of the hydrophilic waterproof membrane to release perspiration steam and warm air from inside the sock. This creates a high level of comfort for the wearer, even while performing strenuous and aerobic activities, while also preventing rain, mud, and sand from getting inside the sock.

Features:

  • Waterproof and extremely breathable
  • Suitable for warmer temperatures
  • Hand closed flat toe seams for zero friction
  • Incredible four-way stretch for great fit and anti-blistering
  • Ankle length
  • Bamboo interior for moisture control, insulation and comfort
  • Hydrostop barrier for water ingress prevention
  • Machine washable, no special treatments required
  • Feels and wears like a comfy sock, a vast improvement over other stiff waterproof socks that wear like a wetsuit
  • Hand-crafted and tested in the UK for waterproofness by craftspeople who care about quality

Technology:

Sealskinz pioneered the use of a unique hydrophilic membrane that's 100% waterproof yet pulls moisture away from your skin at the molecular level - keeping you dry and cool all at the same time. With a Hydrostatic Head of >20,000mm and the addition of Hydrostop™ technology, which creates a barrier between your skin and the sock to help prevent water from coming in through the top of the sock, our socks stay waterproof under the toughest of conditions.

Please note that due to the close bond between sock cuff and skin, over prolonged use, some people may experience minor skin irritation due to the Hydrostop™ barrier rubbing against the skin. For those who experience any irritation, we recommend that Hydrostop™ socks are only used outdoors and not for a prolonged period of time.

Product Care:

Sealskinz don’t like complicated things. And when it comes to the care of your socks, they want to make it as simple as possible. This is the type of sock you can throw in the wash along with the rest of your gear. No need to line dry or wash with special detergents. Since the membrane is a solid barrier, you’ll never need to re-waterproof.

  • Wash at 40ºC/105ºF
  • Low Tumble Dry or Drip Dry
  • Do Not Dry Clean, Iron, or Bleach

Materials:

Sealskinz 100% waterproof socks are constructed using premium materials and by bonding three layers together to make one highly waterproof and breathable sock:

  • Outer Layer - 94% Polycolon, 6% Elastane
  • Middle Layer - 100% Hydrophilic Membrane
  • Inner Layer - 75% Bamboo Rayon, 23% Nylon, 2% Elastane

Sizing X-Large:

  • UK shoe size 12 - 14
  • Euro shoe size 47 - 49
  • US shoe size (Men) 13 - 15

The measurements above are your shoe size, so if you are a UK size 7 we recommend you would be a size M (Medium). If you are at the top of a size such as a UK 8 to 8 1/2 we recommend you move up in size as Sealskinz waterproof socks are thicker than normal socks.
