Product Information
Full details
The DexShell Longlite 2.0 waterproof socks are designed for outdoor enthusiasts such as bushwalkers, anglers, and field sports players who need reliable moisture protection. Featuring a knee-length design and a high-performance Porelle membrane, these socks keep your feet dry in wet conditions while maintaining breathability; however, users should note that the waterproof barrier may reduce airflow compared to standard hiking socks, which can lead to increased warmth during high-intensity summer activities.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these socks fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a high-performance Porelle waterproof membrane that creates a total barrier against water ingress.
Can I use these for winter activities?
Yes, their design is excellent for keeping feet dry and insulated in cold, wet, or snowy conditions.
Why do my feet feel hot?
Because they are waterproof, they are naturally less breathable than traditional socks. They work best in cooler temperatures or during intermittent water exposure.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's size guide for your specific shoe size, as the 4-way stretch fabric provides a close fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
No. Heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof membrane and the elasticity of the socks.
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, the DexShell Longlite 2.0 design is suitable for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel wet inside
Check if water entered through the top of the sock during deep wading, or if heavy perspiration has accumulated due to lack of breathability in high temperatures.
Waterproofing performance has decreased
Ensure the socks are being washed according to the instructions. Detergent residue or fabric softeners can clog the membrane pores, reducing breathability and function.
Socks feel tight around the calf
Ensure you are using the correct size. While they are designed to be a snug 'second-skin' fit, they should not restrict circulation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior protection against water in stream crossings and rainy conditions
- Moisture-wicking Coolmax lining prevents a clammy feeling
- Knee-length coverage offers more protection than traditional socks

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your DexShell socks, always avoid direct contact with sharp objects that could puncture the inner waterproof membrane. When sizing, ensure you choose the correct fit as the 4-way stretch fabric is designed to be snug but not restrictive.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash in cool water using a mild detergent.
- Do not wring or twist the socks, as this may damage the internal membrane.
- Drip dry in a shaded area; avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or open fires, as high heat can degrade the waterproof laminate.
- Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
