Everything you need to know about waterproof socks
The ancient Greeks invented socks made from matted animal hair in the 8th century BC. Since then, socks have come a long way, significantly improving our ability to stay warm and dry. Cross Point waterproof socks have some of the most technologically advanced premium materials available today to keep your feet warm and dry. Read on to find out the details.
How our waterproof socks are made and how they work
The most crucial feature of our waterproof socks is their unique ability to be both highly waterproof and breathable. Cross Point waterproof socks have three layers: a knit exterior sock, a waterproof membrane, and a knit interior sock. Our premium Artex waterproof membrane is seamless and formed in a 3D mold, ensuring a comfortable and natural fit with no seam-like ridges. We pressure test each sock to ensure durability and quality. Toe and heel cushioning provide comfortable and long-lasting wear.
Waterproof socks are waterproof from the bottom up, similar to rain boots. To prevent water from entering the top of the socks, wear rain pants or other garments that overlap the top of the socks.
What does breathable even mean?
Our premium Artex waterproof membrane is an ultra-thin microporous membrane that stretches while the membrane's pores do not. This provides reliable, waterproof, and breathable protection so your feet don't overheat during extended activities.
How is it made?
The outside layer of our waterproof socks uses a durable, low-absorbency nylon blend. Optional Coolmax or Merino Wool blend liners provide lighter-weight moisture-wicking and additional warmth. Waterproof socks are slightly thicker than average athletic socks, but not by much! The tradeoff of dry feet can be invaluable.
