Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Insect Repellent Ankle Socks are designed for hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against biting insects without sacrificing comfort. Featuring advanced Nosilife fabric technology, these socks provide a built-in anti-insect barrier and anti-odour properties, ensuring feet stay fresh during long treks. While they offer excellent durability and specialized protection, they are primarily designed for warm-weather outdoor use and may not replace the need for additional DEET-based repellents in extremely high-risk environments.

FAQs

How long does the insect repellent last?

The Nosilife treatment is permanent and engineered to last for the lifetime of the garment.

Are these socks suitable for winter?

They are designed primarily for spring and summer use; their cotton-based construction may not provide sufficient thermal insulation for cold-weather hiking.

Do I still need to use bug spray?

While the socks provide a significant barrier, it is always recommended to use standard insect repellent on exposed skin for maximum safety.

Are these socks unisex?

Yes, they are designed with a universal fit suitable for both men and women.

What is the primary material used?

These socks are constructed primarily from high-quality cotton for softness and breathability.

Can I wash them with other clothes?

Yes, they are colorfast and can be washed with standard clothing, provided you follow the recommended temperature settings.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of friction near the toes

Ensure the flat toe seam is properly aligned across the base of the toes before tightening your shoelaces.

Sock slipping down during wear

Check that the double cuff is pulled securely above the ankle bone; verify that the sock size matches your foot dimensions.

Odour persists after washing

Ensure the socks are turned inside out during the wash cycle to allow the water and detergent to reach the inner moisture-wicking fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Permanent anti-insect protection built into the fabric
  • Enhanced comfort with specialized cushioning
  • Prevents foot odours even on multi-day trips
  • Secure fit with durable double cuff design

Cons

  • Limited to ankle length for protection coverage
  • Cotton-based material may take longer to dry than synthetic alternatives
  • Not intended to completely eliminate the need for insect spray in tropical regions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the insect-repellent properties, follow these care instructions carefully:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature with standard mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the fibres. Tumble drying on low is generally acceptable but may accelerate wear over time.
  3. Compatibility: These socks pair best with low-profile hiking shoes or trainers. Because they are ankle socks, ensure your footwear provides adequate coverage for the rest of the leg in insect-heavy areas.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, cool place to prevent fabric degradation. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to preserve the fabric's technical treatments.
