FAQs

How long does the insect repellent treatment last?

The Nosilife and Anti-Insect treatments are designed to be durable and effective for the lifetime of the garment, provided the care instructions are followed. Performance may gradually decrease after many washes.

Can I wear these socks in very hot weather?

While the moisture-wicking properties help keep feet dry, the insulating blend may make them warmer than lighter-weight socks in extreme heat. They are best suited for moderate to cool conditions or for activities where insect protection is critical.

Are these socks suitable for everyday casual wear?

Yes, they offer superior comfort and durability for everyday wear, especially if you value moisture management and odor control. However, their specialized features are most beneficial during outdoor activities.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Craghoppers. The double cuff helps provide a secure fit, but choosing the correct shoe size is essential for optimal comfort and performance.

What is the main benefit of the wool blend?

The wool blend provides a balance of natural warmth and moisture-wicking properties from the Merino wool, combined with the durability and stretch from synthetic fibers like polypropylene, polyamide, and elastane.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these socks?

No, it is recommended to avoid fabric softeners as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking and anti-odour properties of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel less breathable than expected

Ensure the socks are clean and free from detergent residue. Check that moisture-wicking is not impaired by heavy soiling. For optimal performance, wash according to care instructions.

Insect repellent effect seems diminished

The Anti-Insect treatment is designed for longevity but can fade over many washes. Ensure correct washing procedures are followed, avoiding harsh detergents. If significant fading is suspected, consider replacing the socks after extended use.

Cushioning feels flat after use

Allow socks to fully dry between wears. If prolonged pressure has compressed the cushioning, gently reshape them and allow them to air dry completely. Regular washing can help restore loft.
