FAQs
Are these socks suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable due to the merino wool blend, these socks are specifically engineered for waterproof performance during outdoor activities. For everyday wear, standard socks might be more practical.
How do I wash my Surlingham socks?
Wash at 40ºC (105ºF) and drip dry. No special detergents are needed.
Can I tumble dry these socks?
No, do not tumble dry. Tumble drying can damage the waterproof membrane. Always drip dry.
What activities are these socks best suited for?
They are ideal for a range of outdoor pursuits including mountain biking, trekking, trail running, and long country walks where protection from wet conditions is essential.
What makes these socks waterproof?
They feature Aquasealz technology, a proprietary waterproof membrane that keeps water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Do these socks have cushioning?
The socks incorporate a merino wool blend interior which provides natural cushioning and comfort, alongside temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties.
What is the 'anti-blister hand linked toe' feature?
This refers to a construction method where the toe seam is linked by hand to create a flat, smooth finish that reduces friction against the skin, helping to prevent blisters during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel damp after use.
Ensure socks are washed and dried according to care instructions. Check that no water is entering the sock from the top opening; consider using gaiters in very wet conditions.
Reduced breathability.
Ensure the socks are clean. Lint or dirt buildup can affect breathability. Wash following care guidelines. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Discomfort or chafing.
Verify you have the correct size. A sock that is too tight can cause discomfort. Ensure they are pulled up smoothly without wrinkles.
