FAQs

Are these socks completely waterproof?

Yes, they feature a specialized waterproof membrane that prevents external moisture from reaching your skin.

Can I wear these for everyday activities?

While designed for hiking, they are excellent for any cold-weather outdoor activity where keeping your feet dry is a priority.

How does the Hydrostop technology work?

Hydrostop creates a barrier around the calf that helps seal the sock against your leg, preventing water from dripping into the sock from above.

Do I need to wear a liner sock with these?

Generally, no. These socks are designed to be worn directly against the skin to maximize the effectiveness of the Merino wool and moisture-wicking layers.

What is the best way to clean them?

Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius, use a gentle cycle, and always air dry without using a tumble dryer.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be getting inside the sock

Check that your pants or gaiters are not channeling water over the top of the sock; ensure the Hydrostop cuff is sitting snugly against your skin.

Socks feel too tight inside my boots

These are high-performance thermal socks; adjust your boot laces to accommodate the added thickness or try wearing a thinner insole if possible.

Socks take a long time to dry after washing

This is normal due to the waterproof membrane. Turn them inside out and hang them in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% waterproof and windproof protection
  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties for dry feet
  • Merino wool provides warmth even when damp
  • Seamless design significantly reduces blister risk
  • Natural odour resistance for multi-day use

Cons

  • Heavier and thicker than standard cotton hiking socks
  • May require more room in your hiking boots due to bulk
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof membrane

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your socks, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Wash the socks at 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle detergent; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these chemicals can degrade the performance of the waterproof membrane. Air dry the socks inside out to allow moisture to evaporate from the inner lining. Because these socks are thicker than typical performance socks, ensure your hiking boots are not laced too tightly at the instep to prevent pressure points caused by the sock's bulk.
