Description
The Return of DexShell Fan Favorite. Lightweight yet durable, the waterproof Longlite Socks 2.0 are ideal for a wide range of wet-weather activities from bushwalking and stream wading to muddy field sports and water-bound expeditions.
Size Guide: S: 3-5 | M: 6-8 | L: 9-11 | XL: 12-14 Back by popular demand, the new-generation DexShell knee length waterproof socks are a refined update of the once-beloved Longlite model. Now upgraded with Coolmax inners for enhanced moisture management and comfort, they still feature the high performance Porelle waterproof breathable membrane trusted by outdoor adventurers worldwide.
FAQs:
Q: Why do I need waterproof socks if I already have waterproof boots?
A: Boots can be heavy and slow to dry. Once water gets in from the top, your feet stay wet. Waterproof socks offer a lighter, more flexible solution for stream crossings or mixed-weather days.
Q: Are waterproof socks fully rain-proof?
A: Not entirely. They repel rain and mud, but extended exposure can allow water to enter from the top. Use with gaiters or waterproof trousers for maximum coverage.
Q: How breathable are they?
A: Our waterproof socks use a British-made Porelle membrane with 70% breathability, letting sweat escape while keeping water out.
Q: Why is it better to choose a size up?
A: The laminated waterproof construction has less stretch than ordinary socks. Size up if you have wide feet or are between sizes for a better fit.
Q: How should I wash them?
A: Machine wash cold with mild detergent and air-dry inside out. Avoid direct heat or high tumble settings to protect the membrane.
