When you want a waterproof membrane for wet trails

A crew waterproof sock with a light thermal knit and an inner layer of 38% merino wool.

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. Facts come from DexShell’s UK/global site; check the US listing matches.

Closest in DexShell’s range: the Ultra Thin Crew Waterproof. They differ in weight and blend; the cuff and size chart are the same.

Facts from
DexShell’s UK and global site

Inner: 38% merino wool, 38% acrylic, 24% polyamide.

Outer: 97% polyamide, 3% elastane.

Between the inner and outer knits sits a Porelle® waterproof, breathable membrane, which DexShell prints under “Interlining” as PFOA free polyurethane.

What DexShell says about it

“Fine merino-wool blend inner.”

“Crew height for hiking boots and outdoor footwear.”

“The updated 2.0 construction reduces bulk while improving comfort, with hidden terry-loop reinforcement at the heel and toe for added softness and durability where it matters most.”

The maker’s own words from its product page; not tested by HikingSocks.guide.

Cushion and weight labels are this brand’s own terms. They are not a shared thickness or temperature rating.

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.

Another sock to compare

Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: not published here, “un-cushioned lining” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Bridgedale StormSock Lightweight Boot uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
