FAQs

Are these socks suitable for very hot weather?

No, these are specifically designed as 'Cold Weather' socks. While they are breathable, the insulation and waterproof layers make them best suited for cool to cold conditions. They may feel too warm in hot weather.

How do I ensure the waterproof feature works best?

The three-layer construction ensures waterproofing. For optimal performance, ensure the socks are correctly sized, worn with appropriate footwear, and the cuff and Hydrostop feature are positioned properly to prevent water ingress from the top.

Can I wear these without shoes?

While they provide warmth and comfort, they are designed to be worn with footwear for outdoor activities. Wearing them without shoes will not affect their waterproof capabilities but is not their intended primary use.

How often should I wash these socks?

Wash as needed, following the care instructions. Frequent washing is not required due to Merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, but washing after heavy use or if they become soiled is recommended.

What is the Hydrostop feature?

Hydrostop is a unique material integrated into the cuff of the sock designed to create a snug, close fit against the skin, providing an additional barrier to prevent water from seeping down into the sock from above.

Are these socks machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable at 40°C (104°F). Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or harsh detergents.

Can I put these in the dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry them on a low heat setting. Alternatively, they can be air-dried away from direct heat sources.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel damp inside.

This can occur if sweat is not escaping efficiently. Ensure you are in a suitable temperature for the socks' intended use. Check for any blockages in your footwear that might hinder breathability. Wash and dry thoroughly as per care instructions.

Water seems to be leaking through.

Inspect the socks for any punctures or damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure the cuff is positioned correctly and the Hydrostop feature is engaged. For extreme submersion, some moisture ingress might occur over long periods. Wash and dry thoroughly.

Cuff area feels tight or causes rubbing.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try a different combination of sock height or footwear. In rare cases, the Hydrostop material may require a break-in period. If the issue persists, consider an alternative Sealskinz model.
