Product Information
Full details
For adults engaged in outdoor activities like running or hiking, the Sealskinz Scoulton Waterproof Warm Weather Mid Socks offer complete waterproof protection without sacrificing breathability. A key benefit is the unique Aquasealz™ membrane and Hydrostop™ technology, keeping feet dry from both external water and internal moisture. The primary caveat to consider is that while designed for warm weather, intense activity can still lead to some internal moisture buildup for extremely heavy perspirers.

FAQs
Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?
These are designed as 'Warm Weather' socks, prioritizing breathability. While they offer waterproofness, they may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold conditions compared to specialized winter socks.
How long does the waterproof protection last?
With proper care and occasional re-proofing (if recommended by the manufacturer), the waterproof membrane is designed to last for the expected lifespan of the sock. Frequent washing with gentle detergents and avoiding harsh chemicals helps maintain its integrity.
Can I wear these without shoes?
These socks are designed to be worn as part of an outdoor gear system with appropriate footwear. Wearing them without shoes could expose the sock to damage and reduce the effectiveness of the waterproof features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sock should fit snugly without being constrictive. There should be no excessive bunching or tightness around the foot or ankle. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements.
What is Hydrostop™ technology?
Hydrostop™ is a unique silicone grip system within the cuff of the sock that creates a seal against the skin, preventing water and debris from entering the sock from the top.
Are these socks machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. It is important to avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the waterproof membrane.
What is the primary material of the inner lining?
The inner lining is primarily made from Bamboo Rayon (75%), which offers excellent moisture-wicking properties and a soft feel.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp after use.
Ensure the socks are correctly sized and not too tight, which can restrict airflow. If heavy perspiration is the cause, consider allowing more ventilation during breaks or washing the socks more frequently to maintain optimal moisture management.
Water seems to be entering from the top.
Confirm the Hydrostop™ cuff is positioned correctly against your leg and that there are no gaps. Ensure the outer layer of your trousers is not channeling water directly into the top of the sock.
Reduced breathability or waterproofness.
Wash the socks according to the care instructions. Accumulation of dirt or residue can impede performance. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
Discomfort or chafing.
Double-check the sizing. A sock that is too large can bunch up and cause friction. Ensure they are pulled up smoothly without wrinkles.
