Hydrostop™: Extra Water Protection You Need to Keep Going:
In serious downpours water can bead up on bare legs and calves and egress into the socks through the top. So we invented Hydrostop™, a silicone-like (although it is silicone-free) elastic taping around the inside cuff of the sock. This added protection reduces the chances of water dripping down your leg into your sock. Problem solved.
Key Benefits:
100% Waterproof & Extremely Breathable
Hydrostop™ Barrier
Wears And Feels Like A Normal Stretchy Sock
Materials:
These 100% waterproof socks are constructed using premium materials and by bonding three layers together to make one highly waterproof and breathable sock:
Outer Layer - 94% Polycolon, 6% Elastane
Middle Layer - 100% Hydrophilic Membrane
Inner Layer - 75% Bamboo Rayon, 23% Nylon, 2% Elastane
Technology:
Sealskinz' pioneered the use of a unique hydrophilic membrane that's 100% waterproof yet pulls moisture away from your skin at the molecular level -- keeping you dry and cool all at the same time. With a Hydrostatic Head of >20,000mm and the addition of Hydrostop™ technology, which creates a barrier between your skin and the sock to help prevent water from coming in through the top of the sock, our socks stay waterproof under the toughest of conditions.
Please note that due to the close bond between sock cuff and skin, over prolonged use, some people may experience minor skin irritation due to the Hydrostop™ barrier rubbing against the skin. For those who experience any irritation, Sealskinz recommend that Hydrostop™ socks are only used outdoors and not for a prolonged period of time.
