Product Information
Full details
The Sealskinz Suffield Socks are designed for adults seeking versatile, high-performance footwear that excels as both a standalone layer and a thermal liner. Crafted from premium merino wool, these socks offer superior temperature regulation and natural moisture-wicking properties, making them ideal for long days in varying climates. While they provide excellent comfort and odor resistance, their close-fitting design may feel too snug for users who prefer a loose, thicker sock feel without layering.

Troubleshooting
Socks feel too tight after washing
Avoid tumble drying; always air dry flat to maintain the natural shape and elasticity of the merino wool.
Pilling on the surface of the fabric
This is normal for high-quality natural wool; use a fabric shaver gently to remove small pills without damaging the knit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your merino wool socks, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature (30C) using a gentle cycle. Always use a wool-safe detergent to preserve the natural fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink the wool. Lay the socks flat on a drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Compatibility: These are unisex socks designed for a close fit. When sizing, ensure your outer boot or waterproof sock provides enough room to accommodate the layering system without restricting circulation.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches that can break down the structure of the merino fibers.
