Great socks at a reasonable price right now in S and L sizes. Been using them for many years for off-road enduro motorcycle racing and now for long distance cycling and hiking. One tip though: the silicone band can irritate your leg skin so best worn above tights/leggings or with a sock liner.

Key Features:
Hydrostop Technology: This feature includes a silicone-like elastic band around the cuff, providing an extra barrier against water entry.
Three-Layer Construction: The socks boast a durable nylon exterior, a waterproof hydrophilic membrane, and a soft merino wool interior.
Material Composition: The outer layer consists of 62% Polycolon, 29% Nylon, and 9% Elastane, while the inner layer includes 36% Merino Wool, 36% Acrylic, 18% Polyester, 5% Nylon, and 5% Elastane.
Fit and Style: These mid-calf socks are designed with a solid black pattern, suitable for both men and women.
While the Hydrostop technology effectively prevents water from seeping in, it is worth noting that the silicone-like band can cause minor skin irritation if worn directly on the skin for extended periods. It is advisable to wear these socks over tights or with a sock liner to mitigate this issue.
For care, the socks should be washed at 40ºC/105ºF and can be tumble dried on a low setting or drip-dried. They should not be dry cleaned, ironed, or bleached. The socks are part of the Evergreen 19 collection and are designed for adults, making them a versatile addition to any outdoor enthusiasts wardrobe.
