Sealskinz Surlingham Waterproof All Weather Sock - Olive - S

Proper care is essential. Always wash at 40°C and drip dry away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying, ironing, or using bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.

While breathable, they are designed with a waterproof membrane which can make them feel warmer than standard socks in extremely hot and dry conditions. They are best suited for cool, wet, or variable weather.

Yes, the socks are designed for active use including running, especially trail running or running in wet conditions where waterproofness is beneficial. The anti-blister features are also advantageous for running.

Refer to the Sealskinz sizing chart for apparel and measure your foot accordingly. A snug fit is important for the sock to function optimally and comfortably.

Unlike regular wool socks, the Surlingham socks have a waterproof and breathable membrane integrated between the inner and outer layers, making them impervious to external water while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

You can gently brush off excess mud while the socks are dry or rinse them under cool water before placing them in the washing machine. Avoid using high-pressure water jets.

Ensure the outer layer is not saturated for extended periods, as extreme saturation can eventually lead to dampness. Also, check that the socks were drip-dried thoroughly and have not been exposed to excessive heat which can compromise the membrane. Ensure the sock size is correct; a poor fit can sometimes cause friction points that feel like dampness.

Over time, external dirt or residues can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Wash the socks according to the care instructions. Ensure no fabric softener was used in the wash, as this can affect breathability.

Verify you have the correct size. A sock that is too tight or too loose can cause discomfort. The hand-linked toe is designed to prevent rubbing, but ensure it is positioned correctly.
