Product Information

Full details

The SealSkinz Scoulton Waterproof Mid Length Sock is an ideal choice for hikers, cyclists, and commuters who require reliable foot protection in unpredictable, warm, and wet environments. Featuring advanced Aquasealz membrane technology and a moisture-wicking bamboo liner, these socks provide a breathable barrier that keeps feet dry without overheating; however, users should be aware that the Hydrostop cuff, while effective at preventing water entry, creates a snug fit that may feel restrictive to some individuals.

FAQs

Are these socks machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Can I use these for winter sports?

The Scoulton model is designed for warm weather. While waterproof, it does not provide the thermal insulation required for extreme cold.

What exactly is the Hydrostop technology?

Hydrostop is an elastic, silicone-free taping inside the cuff that creates a seal against the skin to stop water from running down your leg into the sock.

Will these socks make my feet sweat?

The Aquasealz membrane is highly breathable and designed to vent heat, but individual sweat levels vary. The bamboo liner helps pull moisture away from the skin for comfort.

Do I need to wear anything underneath?

No, these are designed to be worn directly against the skin. Wearing additional socks underneath may reduce their breathability.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be getting inside the sock

Ensure the Hydrostop cuff is lying flat against your skin. If the cuff is folded or sitting over thick trouser material, the seal will be broken, allowing water to enter.

Socks feel damp inside after heavy activity

This is often condensation from sweat that has not yet vented. Ensure your footwear is also breathable and avoid wearing non-breathable plastic or rubber boots.

The cuff feels uncomfortably tight

The Hydrostop technology is designed to be snug to create a seal. Try adjusting the placement of the cuff slightly higher or lower on your calf to find a more comfortable pressure point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your SealSkinz socks, proper care is essential. Always wash them in cool water on a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these chemicals can clog the pores of the fabric and compromise breathability. For drying, it is recommended to air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the elastic properties of the Hydrostop cuff. Ensure your footwear has enough volume to accommodate the sock's thickness, as they are slightly thicker than standard athletic socks due to the integrated waterproof layer.
