Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these socks completely waterproof?

Yes, they feature Aquasealz technology, making them fully waterproof while remaining breathable.

Can I use these for running?

While designed for hiking, they can be used for running in cold or wet conditions, though they are thicker than specialized performance running socks.

Do I need to wear another pair of socks inside?

No, these are designed to be worn directly against the skin to maximize the moisture-wicking benefits of the Merino wool.

How does the Hydrostop feature work?

Hydrostop is an elasticated silicone-free barrier at the cuff that helps prevent water from trickling down your leg and into the sock.

Will these socks cause blisters?

The seamless, hand-linked construction is specifically designed to minimize friction and significantly reduce the likelihood of blister formation.

Are they machine washable?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 30°C on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Water entering from the top of the sock

Ensure the Hydrostop cuff is pulled securely against the skin; it is designed to create a seal, but deep submersion above the cuff will still allow water in.

Socks feel damp after a long day

This is likely trapped perspiration. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable footwear over the socks, as this prevents moisture from escaping the membrane.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% waterproof construction
  • Excellent insulation from Merino wool
  • Natural antimicrobial properties reduce odor
  • Reduces blister risk through seamless design
  • Comfortable cushioning for long-distance hiking

Cons

  • Thicker profile than traditional non-waterproof socks
  • Requires specific care to maintain membrane integrity
  • Might feel too warm for high-intensity summer activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your socks remain waterproof and comfortable, follow these guidelines:

Compatibility: These socks work best when worn directly against the skin. They are mid-length, making them suitable for most standard hiking and trekking boots.

Washing Instructions:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle or hand wash.
  2. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane.
  3. Air dry by hanging in a well-ventilated area; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to prevent membrane damage.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects to prevent punctures in the waterproof barrier.
