Sealskinz says:
Our original waterproof sock, with the added protection of Hydrostop™. The Waterproof All Weather Ankle Length Socks with Hydrostop™ are designed to keep you warm, comfortable, and on the move in a variety of wet weather conditions. Cold and wet feet can lead to all sorts of not-so-good things including numbness, blisters, frostbite, and even worse. These socks will keep you dry and on the move outside no matter what wet weather you encounter.
Our Verdict
Sealskinz' Waterproof Warm Weather Mid Length Sock with Hydrostop are a great option for emergency waterproof layers or to be combined with not waterproof footwear on wet days. The materials have improved greatly in recent years, softening up and becoming more comfortable, but they still have a very obvious neoprene feel to them. Some people won't mind this, I don't when using the for road cycling or mountain biking but for walking a very thin liner sock makes them much more comfortable.
The Hydrostop seal works well at keeping out water that may simply run down your leg or through fabric and get into the top of the sock like on the older version of these socks. However, these are meant to be 'warm weather' socks and the seal created does get uncomfortable in warm conditions or when you are heating up while walking after you've been wearing them for a few hours. This is manageable but not ideal.
