FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most about ArcticDry waterproof socks.
What sports can I use these waterproof socks for?
Most customers wear them for cycling, hiking and trekking, snowboarding, skiing, fishing and mountain biking. Really, anything that could leave you with soaking wet shoes or boots is a good fit.
How waterproof are they?
They're tested to withstand a hydrostatic head of more than 10,000mm (BS3424: Part 26; Method 29A: 1990). In plain terms, they're checked to be fully waterproof before they leave the factory.
Are waterproof socks good for hiking?
Yes. They're also suited to golf, running, cycling, boating, skiing and snowboarding. The waterproof membrane means they work for almost any wet-weather activity.
Do they work with normal shoes?
Yes. Wear them with your usual trainers, walking boots or cycling shoes. If your footwear is already snug, you may want to go up half a size.
Can I swim in them?
No. Water can get in over the cuff. They're built for rain, puddles, wet grass, mud and snow, not submersion.
How do I wash ArcticDry waterproof socks?
Hand wash inside out in lukewarm soapy water (below 40°C), then air dry. Avoid radiators and tumble dryers. Read the full washing guide.
What size do I need to order?
Small fits UK 4–8 (EU 37–42), Medium fits UK 8–11 (EU 42–46) and Large fits UK 11–13 (EU 46–48). The socks have some stretch, so if you're between sizes pick based on how snug you like them.
Do they need any special waterproofing treatment?
No. The waterproof membrane does the work. No sprays, waxes or reproofing needed.
Do you make ladies' waterproof socks?
The socks are unisex and fit men, women and children. Just choose your size from the guide.
