For now, satisfied with an interesting addition.

- Robert, 20 December, 2022

Was pleased to find 2 pairs of these socks including Hydrostop at a relatively low price with no delivery charges. Smooth handling. Purpose is mainly for (Swedish) tour skating m.h.o.o. wet feet or swimming. In the latter case, I then possibly have a spare pair for in the wet shoes, in addition to the other spare clothing. To wonder if my feet would stay dry when swimming. I don't assume so. Immediately practical. One must realize they probably cannot be washed with ordinary detergents. For my purpose, rather a concern is having to dry them 2x, including once inside out. The same applies in a spin dryer. Without the latter, it is convenient to squeeze them out and hang them upside down 2x. Waterproofing I tested by standing in a bucket and moving around. That went well with both pairs, after very little use. It was interesting to compare them with regular thick socks, wearing 1 pair of each kind at the same time. In the house, walking outside, and rowing in cold weather. - Breathing went well, noticed little or no difference. - Warmth was the same. Suffering from cold feet in the rowing boat, I was hoping for more warmth from Sealskinz due to their sealing. That didn't come true. The "Hydrostop" was a bonus with this purchase. Is in itself simply a rubbery strip. May seal a bit better against running water (not tested). Also helps against sagging. Handy to roll them off first when putting them on. For sizing, it is really a matter of luck to be at the upper end of the range, as the socks do not adjust to the feet very much. With my 42, I came out just fine in M 39-42. The socks are quite thick and feel rubbery, but are not obstructive. I've also skated with them for a day now, in half-height hiking boots. Durability of socks and the 'Hydrostop' not yet able to test. For now satisfied with an interesting addition.

Great socks for the wet days

Socks are of solid quality. Thanks to the non-slip band, they stay on well and no water gets in. I did expect them to be warmer. I use them for both cycling and mountain biking.
