FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very cold weather?

These are designed as 'Warm Weather' socks. While they provide waterproof protection, they are lightweight and may not offer sufficient insulation for extreme cold. For colder conditions, consider Sealskinz's range of thermal waterproof socks.

How do I ensure the waterproof membrane lasts?

Follow the care instructions strictly: wash with liquid detergent on a warm cycle, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing.

Can I wear these with regular socks?

These are designed to be worn directly against the skin for optimal moisture management and waterproof performance. Wearing them with other socks may affect their ability to wick moisture and could compromise the waterproof seal.

What does the Hydrostop™ feature do?

Hydrostop™ is a silicone grip on the inside of the cuff that creates a barrier, preventing water from seeping down your leg into the top of the sock.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the sizing guide for Sealskinz products. Ensure the sock fits snugly but comfortably, without being too tight, to allow the technologies to function effectively.

Can these be worn for cycling?

Yes, their waterproof and breathable properties make them suitable for cycling in wet conditions, helping to keep feet dry and comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel wet inside

Ensure socks are properly washed and dried according to care instructions. Check for any damage to the waterproof membrane. If the issue persists, it might be due to sweat accumulation if the outer conditions are very warm and humid, even with breathability.

Discomfort or rubbing at the cuff

In rare cases, the close fit of the Hydrostop™ cuff can cause rubbing. Ensure the socks are the correct size. Try wearing them with slightly different sock liners or adjusting how you pull them on. If discomfort is significant, consider alternative sock heights or styles.

Reduced waterproof performance over time

This can happen if the membrane is damaged. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and high heat drying. Inspect socks regularly for tears or punctures. Proper care is essential for maintaining waterproof integrity.
