FAQs
Are these socks suitable for hiking in the rain?
Yes, the Surlingham socks are designed with Aquasealz technology to be 100% waterproof, making them ideal for hiking in wet conditions and keeping your feet dry.
How do I wash my Sealskinz Surlingham socks?
Wash at 40°C (105°F) and then drip dry. Avoid tumble drying or using direct heat. Standard laundry detergents are fine, but do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Can I wear these socks in warm weather?
The socks are breathable, allowing perspiration to escape. While they are designed for all-weather use, in very hot and humid conditions, they might feel warmer than a standard thin sock. However, the breathability helps manage moisture.
What is the benefit of the merino wool interior?
The merino wool blend provides a soft feel, wicks moisture away from your skin to keep you dry, and helps regulate temperature for comfort in various conditions.
Do these socks prevent blisters?
Yes, they feature an anti-blister, hand-linked toe seam that minimizes friction points, which is a common cause of blisters during prolonged activity.
What activities are these socks best suited for?
They are versatile and ideal for activities such as mountain biking, trekking, long country walks, and any outdoor pursuit where protection from the elements and comfort are essential.
Are these socks unisex?
Yes, the Sealskinz Surlingham socks are designed as unisex, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel wet inside after use.
Ensure socks are washed correctly (40°C, drip dry) and not exposed to excessive heat. Check that the outer material is not saturated, which could indicate a breach in the waterproof membrane. If the issue persists, consider if sweat accumulation is excessive and if the breathability is being overwhelmed by extreme activity in high humidity.
Reduced waterproofing effectiveness.
Proper washing is crucial. Ensure you are washing at 40°C and drip drying. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof properties. Check for any visible damage to the sock's material.
Discomfort or rubbing.
Verify that the correct size has been selected. The hand-linked toe seam is designed to prevent blisters, but an incorrect fit can still cause discomfort. Ensure the sock is pulled up smoothly without wrinkles.
