SealSkinz - SealSkinz Waterproof Cold Weather Mid-Length Sock Hydrostop

Proven and reliable protection in any weather

This is the waterproof sock that started it all. We designed the Waterproof All Weather Mid Length Sock with Hydrostop™ to keep you dry and on the move in wet and chilly conditions. With the added protection of Hydrostop™, it’s an ideal choice when there’s a risk of getting your feet wet while hiking, cycling, commuting, hunting, fishing, or working outside.

Wet feet can lead to all sorts of not-so-good things outdoors, including cold and numb feet, blisters, frostbite, and worse. This sock will keep you dry and warm in rain, snow, and mud, through stream crossings, and standing in leaky waders. We’re of the opinion that every person should keep a pair of All Weather Mids with Hydrostop™ in their pack—just in case.

Key Benefits

• Waterproof - three layer construction for warmth, durability and waterproofing

• Hydrostop - Reduces water ingress
• Support - zonal elastication for added support
• Comfort - flat toe seams prevent rubbing
• Comfort - Footbed padding reduces pressure and absorbs shock
• Hydrostop Usage Guide - SealSkinz Hydrostop technology creates a seal between the sock cuff and skin, helping to reduce the amount of water from running down the leg and into the sock. Due to this close bond between sock cuff and skin, we recommend that Hydrostop socks are only used outdoors and not for a prolonged period of time. Incorrect or prolonged use can result in excessive rubbing against the skin and may in a very small minority of cases cause minor skin irritation. The Hydrostop seal material has been fully tested to EN ISO 10993-5: 2009 and is OEKOTEX compliant.

  Finer than traditional wool with tiny overlapping scales that case each fibre, these scales are hydrophobic (water repellent). Inside it's a different story, the fibre core is hydrophilic (highly absorbant). Merino is therefore a wicking fibre and can absorb and release 10 times more moisture than synthetics. Each fibre can absorb up to one third of its own weight in moisture without feeling clammy or wet to the touch. In our socks and gloves, the moisture is then wicked through the membrane to keep you feeling warm and dry
