Neoprene socks have appeared on sale quite recently, but they are already appreciated by lovers of outdoor activities.
Why were neoprene socks invented?
Initially products from neoprene was used only in the space sector, later they began to make clothes for scuba diving from this material, including socks. The uniqueness of the material lies in the following: due to the porous structure, the heat emanating from the body is perfectly retained.
What are neoprene socks used for now?
The main positive properties of neoprene socks:
- resistance to temperature changes;
- protection from mechanical damage;
- waterproof.
Keeping feet warm in high humidity levels helps prevent hypothermia from occurring. In addition, due to good stretchability and softness, the material does not restrict movement, creating a feeling of comfort. The socks fit your feet well, reliably protecting you from small stones or sand.In addition, it is impossible to rub calluses in them.
Due to their excellent characteristics, these products are in demand in many areas of human activity:
- as equipment for diving;
- hiking (in the mountains or in the forest);
- rafting on mountain rivers.
Socks will be indispensable for fishing lovers, will reliably protect from the cold and ensure a safe long stay in the water. In this case, it is advisable to wear rubber boots.
How to use neoprene socks correctly
To maintain the optimal temperature level inside the shoes, it is necessary to take into account the main recommendation of the manufacturers: choose the thickness of the socks depending on the purpose, time of year and temperature conditions. The thickness range is quite wide: from three to nine millimeters.
IMPORTANT! Socks have two layers: an outer layer and an inner layer, which fits closely to the skin and is waterproof. To correctly determine the inner layer, just pay attention to the surface: it should be smooth and shiny. The outer layer has a porous coating.
A good addition to these products would be combat boots, sneakers or boots. It is also possible to use socks separately without shoes (for example, hiking in marshy areas or when kayaking). In this case, it is better to give preference to equipment with reinforced soles, which will ensure the safety of the product.
IMPORTANT! It is undesirable to wear this equipment for a long time due to the low level of vapor permeability. As a result, people with sensitive skin may experience irritation.
