FAQs
Are these socks truly waterproof?
Yes, the Surlingham socks feature Aquasealz technology, providing a completely waterproof barrier to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
While designed for all-weather use, the breathable construction helps manage heat. However, like any waterproof sock, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof options in very hot, dry conditions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide for Sealskinz socks. A proper fit is crucial; the sock should feel snug but not constricting, without excess material bunching up.
How often should I wash these socks?
It's recommended to wash them after each significant use, especially if they have become sweaty or dirty, to maintain their performance and hygiene.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softener, powders, and bleach should be avoided as they can damage the waterproof membrane and reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties.
What activities are these socks best suited for?
They are ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, running, cycling, fishing, camping, and any activity where keeping feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions is essential.
What is the interior material?
The interior is a blend of merino wool, which is known for its natural moisture-wicking, odor-resistant, and insulating properties.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp inside, but no external water present.
This is likely due to perspiration buildup. Ensure you are washing the socks regularly to maintain moisture-wicking properties and consider if the external temperature is contributing to increased sweating.
Water is leaking through the socks.
Check for any punctures or damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure the socks are properly fitted and that no excess material is bunching, which could create a weak point. Re-read care instructions to ensure the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised by improper washing or drying.
Socks feel stiff or less flexible.
This can occur if fabric softener or harsh detergents have been used. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully, avoiding heat which can degrade the materials.
