Waterproof socks

Passion for a healthy lifestyle is a steady trend of modern mankind. Often this requires not only fortitude, high moral standards and physical effort, but also high-quality clothing. Outdoor activities, hiking, expeditions have special requirements for equipment, one of the main such conditions is wind and moisture protection.

A little about DexShell

The advent of modern synthetic materials has made it possible to make a qualitative leap in this area. On the market for a long time already you will surprise nobody with membrane jackets, windbreakers with Softshell technology. But few have heard about waterproof socks.

DexShell was one of the first to mass-produce waterproof clothing. It gained popularity all over the world thanks to the achievement of a balance between the quality and price of its products. The design of the products allows both athletes and ordinary people to actively use DexShell clothing and accessories in urban environments.

The product line of this company is very wide and includes outerwear and accessories for men, women and children. The size range is also very wide, which greatly facilitates the selection of the necessary equipment.

Separately, it is worth noting the production of water-repellent socks, which are gaining great popularity among outdoor enthusiasts.

Peculiarities

The DexShell waterproof socks are a unique invention that keeps feet dry in all situations. The most interesting thing is that outwardly they are no different from ordinary ones.

The whole secret lies in modern materials that create a reliable barrier between the external environment and the skin. Moreover, the fabric has the ability to wick away excess sweat.

The special synthetic membrane Porelle gives such properties to the products. This membrane was patented by DexShell and has found application in many of its products.

For comfortable wearing, this material is covered on both sides with a fabric base, which allows air to circulate freely. In this case, the layer that is in direct contact with the skin is made of soft fabric. But the outer, protective, has increased wear-resistant characteristics and is made of synthetic fabric.

After reading about such a complex structure of a seemingly common wardrobe item, many may have a question about convenience. But, having studied the reviews of experienced travelers, and ordinary lovers of outdoor recreation, doubts about the practicality of such socks immediately disappear. Thanks to unique technologies, the socks fit tightly to the foot, exactly following its contours. And flat seams ensure your socks won't chafe.

Basic models

Currently, DexShell brand products are presented in a large assortment for all types of activity.

There are lines for women and men, some models are made especially for children.

The shape of the socks can be with elongated tops - especially for lovers of trekking.

A number of models have been created especially for fishermen and hunters.

And professional skiers and snowboarders often wear such socks.

  • DexShell Ultralite Biking are short, lightweight socks that are great for running or cycling in the summer. They are very breathable and pair well with sneakers or lightweight trainers. I protect my leg not only from moisture, but also from overheating.
  • DexShell Coolvent is a model that has a standard height and is suitable for sports and walking in cool weather in summer and autumn.
  • DexShell Trekking Green is a tall trekking model for very cold weather. Protects from cold moisture and prevents feet from sweating in warm boots.
  • DexShell Overcalf Wading - high gaiters with a sealed cuff on top, designed for fishing enthusiasts. In such gaiters, you can go into the water above the knee without fear of getting your feet wet.
  • DexShell Hytherm Pro - waterproof winter socks. The outer layer is 40 percent merino wool. That is why this model will be comfortable and warm. And acrylic will not let the wool roll. As in other models, the main properties of the product are given by the Porelle membrane. It is she who removes excess moisture formed as a result of sweating outward. But from the outside, it no longer lets water through.
  • DexShell Waterproof Children are socks specially designed for children. The inner layer contains bamboo fibers, so these socks are even softer and more comfortable. They not only protect children's feet from moisture, but also have antiseptic properties. The size range starts from 14 cm, which allows even the smallest children to pick up a pair.

Care rules

The delicate membrane located between the protective tissue layers requires careful handling.

Waterproof socks should not be machine washed. And it is recommended to wash such products by hand with caution.

A wide variety of synthetic detergents gives you a choice. But, as the experienced ones recommend, there is nothing better than ordinary soap and warm water. And in field conditions, the best wash is clean running water.

Drying such socks should also be wise. Thermal exposure is contraindicated: be it a battery, iron or fire. Just turn the sock inside out and hang it up. After drying the inner layer, the socks are turned inside out again and the outer layer is dried.

Price

The cost of such pleasure is not that great. Prices for children's everyday models start at 1000 rubles. Adult models are priced from 1,500 rubles. And the price of products for extreme types starts at 3,000 rubles. But taking into account all the listed advantages, it is more than democratic.
