Hard-wearing nylon and spandex knit. Takes the abrasion so the membrane doesn't.
Waterproof membrane
Blocks liquid water from getting in, lets sweat vapour out. The bit that does the work.
Coolmax lining

4.5 / 5 from 1,300+ ratings on Amazon UK.
Was very sceptical buying these, but after a few months I'm very impressed. Now part of my hiking kit.
An essential part of my kit on fishing trips. Perfect for keeping the water out.

// FAQ
Questions
Do waterproof socks actually work?
Yes. A waterproof, breathable membrane sits in the middle layer. It blocks liquid water from getting in while letting water vapour (sweat) escape.
Won't my feet get sweaty?
The membrane is breathable, so vapour gets out. The Coolmax lining wicks moisture away from your skin.
Can I swim in them?
No. Water can come in over the cuff. They're built for rain, puddles, wet grass, mud and snow, not submersion.
Do I need special shoes?
No. Wear them with your normal trainers, boots or cycling shoes. If your shoes are snug, consider going up a size in footwear.
Are they for men or women?
Both. Sizing is unisex, from UK 4 to UK 13. Check the size guide above.
Where can I buy them?
ArcticDry socks are sold through Amazon UK, with Prime delivery and Amazon's returns policy.
