Product Information

Full details

These Sealskinz Waterproof Cold Weather Knee High Socks are designed for adults seeking reliable protection in cold and wet conditions. Their key benefit is keeping feet and lower legs completely dry and warm, even in the harshest weather, thanks to their 100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable construction. A potential consideration is that their robust design might feel slightly bulkier than standard socks, impacting the feel inside very snug footwear. The socks feature a three-layer bonded construction with a Merino Wool inner lining for superior insulation and moisture-wicking capabilities, ensuring comfort during extended outdoor activities.

FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?

While designed for outdoor performance, their warmth and comfort make them suitable for everyday wear in cold or wet conditions, though they may feel warmer than standard socks.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart. The socks should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting circulation. They should cover your calf up to just below the knee.

Do I need to re-waterproof these socks?

No, these socks are designed to maintain their waterproof properties through washing and do not require any additional re-waterproofing treatments.

Can I wear these with compression layers?

Yes, you can wear them over thinner compression socks. However, ensure that the combined layers do not make your footwear too tight, which could affect comfort and circulation.

What is the Hydrostatic Head rating?

The Hydrostatic Head rating is greater than 20,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproof performance capable of withstanding significant water pressure.

How warm are these socks?

The inner lining is made with a fine Merino Wool blend, providing excellent insulation and warmth for cold weather conditions.

What materials are the socks made from?

The socks are constructed with three layers: an outer layer of 90% Nylon and 10% Elastane, a middle layer of 100% Hydrophilic Membrane, and an inner layer composed of 35% Merino Wool, 35% Acrylic, 23% Polyester, 3.5% Nylon, and 3.5% Elastane.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp inside.

Ensure socks are correctly positioned and not twisted. Verify that the outer layer of your footwear is not compromised, allowing water ingress. Check for any damage to the sock's waterproof membrane. Ensure socks are fully dry before wearing.

Reduced breathability.

Wash the socks according to care instructions to clear any potential membrane blockages. Avoid using fabric softeners which can impede breathability.

Socks feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If your footwear is too tight with the socks on, consider using footwear with more volume or a looser fit.

Water ingress detected.

Inspect the socks carefully for any punctures or tears in the fabric or membrane. If damage is found, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Ensure the top cuff is properly sealed against your legwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and windproof protection.
  • Excellent warmth and temperature regulation due to Merino Wool.
  • Breathable design prevents internal moisture buildup.
  • Durable construction for demanding outdoor use.
  • Low maintenance requirements.

Cons

  • Can feel bulkier than non-waterproof socks.
  • May require a slight break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These socks are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Simply wear them like any other pair of socks, ensuring a comfortable fit inside your footwear.

Compatibility: The Sealskinz Waterproof Cold Weather Knee High Socks are compatible with most standard outdoor footwear, including hiking boots, wellington boots, and cycling shoes. Due to their layered construction, ensure your footwear has sufficient room to accommodate the socks without causing excessive tightness, which could impede circulation or comfort.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out on a cool or warm cycle (maximum 40°C or 104°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
  3. Drying: Drip dry inside out. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as high heat can compromise the waterproof properties. Ensure the socks are completely dry before storing.
