Product Information

Full details

The DexShell Longlite 2.0 waterproof socks are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require full lower-leg protection during wet-weather activities like bushwalking, trail running, or stream wading. Featuring a specialized membrane, these socks provide a reliable barrier against external moisture while maintaining breathability through a moisture-wicking Coolmax inner lining. While they offer exceptional weatherproofing for various field sports and expeditions, users should be aware that the knee-high design requires careful folding or layering to ensure comfort inside tighter footwear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these socks completely submersible?

Yes, the sock material is waterproof, but water will enter if submerged deeper than the top of the cuff.

Can I wear these with normal shoes?

Yes, they can be worn with any footwear, though they perform best with breathable, non-waterproof shoes to let the membrane breathe.

How should I wash my DexShell socks?

Wash by hand or in a machine at 40°C, then hang to dry. Never use fabric softener or a tumble dryer.

What is the purpose of the Coolmax layer?

Coolmax is used on the inside to wick moisture away from your skin, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable.

Are these socks suitable for winter use?

They provide water protection and some thermal regulation, but they are not specifically insulated for extreme alpine cold.

What does the OEKO-TEX certification mean?

It certifies that the product has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human health.

Troubleshooting

Sensation of dampness inside the sock

This is often caused by trapped perspiration if the footwear is not breathable. Ensure your shoes allow for moisture vapor to escape.

Water leaking into the top of the sock

The socks are waterproof up to the cuff. If water flows over the top or enters through the leg opening during deep submersion, the sock cannot prevent it.

Sock feels tight or bunches up

Verify the sizing matches your foot dimensions. If it bunches, pull the sock taut and smooth it out before putting on your outer footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete waterproof protection with breathable membrane
  • Effective moisture management via Coolmax liner
  • Extended knee-high coverage for deep water or mud
  • Flexible 4-way stretch for a comfortable, secure fit

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme sub-zero mountaineering
  • Knee-length coverage can feel bulky if layered under tight boots
  • Requires specific care to maintain membrane integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your DexShell socks, always avoid contact with sharp objects that could puncture the internal waterproof membrane. When fitting the socks, ensure they are pulled up smoothly without excess folds at the ankle or knee.

Care Instructions:

  1. Hand wash or machine wash at a low temperature (below 40°C).
  2. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh detergents.
  3. Drip dry in a shaded area.
  4. Never tumble dry or place directly on a heater, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
  5. Turn inside out occasionally to allow the inner liner to air out completely after heavy use.
