Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Wool Blend Insect Repellent Boot Socks are designed for adults seeking comfortable and protective footwear for outdoor activities. Their key benefit lies in their advanced fabric technology, offering insect repellency, moisture-wicking, and insulation. A potential caveat is that the blend might not be suitable for those with very sensitive skin due to the wool content. These socks are crafted from a blend of Merino Wool, Polypropylene, Polyamide, and Elastane, incorporating features like anti-insect treatment, anti-odour properties, and cushioning for extended wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these socks suitable for summer hiking?

While the moisture-wicking properties help, the wool blend offers insulation, making them more ideal for mild to cool conditions. For very hot weather, lighter, more breathable synthetic socks might be preferred.

How long does the insect repellent treatment last?

The duration of the insect repellent treatment depends on wear and care. Following the washing instructions helps maintain its effectiveness for longer.

Can I wear these socks every day?

Yes, the comfort and anti-odour features make them suitable for daily wear, especially if you are active or spending time outdoors.

What does 'Nosilife' technology mean?

Nosilife is Craghoppers' patented anti-insect treatment permanently built into the fabric, offering protection against biting insects without the need for extra sprays on the garment.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The socks should fit snugly around your foot and calf without constricting. Ensure there are no major wrinkles or excessive tightness, as this can lead to discomfort or blisters.

Are these socks machine dryable?

It is recommended to air dry them or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the wool fibers and affect the sock's performance and fit.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel itchy

This can occur with wool blends. Ensure socks are washed before first use. If itching persists, consider wearing a thinner liner sock underneath or trying a different material.

Reduced insect repellent effectiveness over time

Follow care instructions carefully. Harsh washing or drying methods can diminish the treatment. Re-washing according to guidelines may help restore some properties.

Socks slipping down into boots

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The double cuff is designed to help, but proper boot fit is also crucial. Make sure the boot shaft is snug enough to hold the sock up.

Pilling or wear on cushioning areas

Pilling is a common characteristic of wool blends and can be managed. For excessive wear, ensure your boots fit correctly to avoid unnecessary friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear socks. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. They are designed to be worn with sturdy hiking boots or other outdoor footwear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult unisex wear. Compatible with a wide range of outdoor boots, including hiking boots, walking boots, and work boots. The wool blend offers versatility for various weather conditions, though they are best suited for mild to cool temperatures.

Care: Machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water. It is recommended to wash with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's performance properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results and to maintain the integrity of the fabric and its treatments. Do not iron.
