When you want a waterproof membrane for wet trails

An over the ankle waterproof sock with a low bulk knit and an inner layer of 60% coolmax polyester.

Keep in mind: Water can still get in over the cuff, and the three layers take more room than a standard sock, so try it in your shoes before a wet trip. The low cuff sits below a boot collar, so it suits trail shoes and low hikers rather than boots.

Closest in DexShell’s range: the Thermlite 2.0 Waterproof Crew. They differ in cuff, weight and blend; the size chart is the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole DexShell size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the complete layered construction, not only one layer. Extra fabric can change toe room and pressure inside the shoe. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Wash at or below 30°C / 86°F. Use a mild detergent. Drip or line dry naturally. Do not bleach. Do not wring. Do not iron. Do not dry clean. Keep away from direct heat.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.
