The DexShell Longlite 2.0 waterproof socks are designed for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and trail runners who require reliable protection against wet conditions while maintaining comfort. Featuring an upgraded Coolmax inner layer and a high-performance Porelle membrane, these knee-length socks keep feet dry and blister-free during stream wading or muddy trail treks. While these socks provide exceptional waterproof performance and breathability, they are thicker than standard everyday socks, which may influence the fit of tighter-fitting footwear.

No, these are intended as an inner-layer sock and the membrane can be damaged if walked on directly on abrasive surfaces like asphalt or rocky ground.
Yes, the waterproof membrane and moisture-wicking properties make them a great choice for cold, wet conditions when paired with appropriate thermal layers.
If you notice water seeping in despite proper use, inspect the fabric for tears or punctures. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
No, fabric softeners can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade the waterproof performance.
Yes, the Longlite 2.0 is specifically designed to reach the knee, providing maximum protection for stream wading.
The socks are designed with 4-way stretch to provide a snug fit. Use the size guide provided for your specific footwear size to ensure the best fit.
Check if water is entering through the top cuff during deep wading. Ensure the sock is pulled up fully and consider using gaiters to prevent water runoff.
The waterproof membrane requires a certain thickness. Ensure your footwear laces are loosened slightly to accommodate the extra material volume.
Ensure the shoes worn over the socks are also breathable. If the outer shoe is non-porous, moisture will be trapped between the shoe and the sock regardless of the sock's performance.
To ensure the longevity of your DexShell socks, always check that your footwear is compatible with the slightly thicker profile of these socks. They are best worn with boots or shoes that have a moderate amount of volume in the toe box. For care, hand wash or machine wash at a low temperature (below 40°C). Do not wring or tumble dry; instead, hang them to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames, which can damage the delicate internal membrane.
