Even though it is completely waterproof, there is elasticity and it is not stuffy socks "wear seal skins" worn review

It is very uncomfortable for my shoes to become submerged on rainy days and my legs get wet. However, waterproof climbing shoes and rubber boots are often heavy and difficult to walk or troubled because it is a design unsuitable for wearing at work or school.

So in the rain, even if it rains, we did not wet your feet, and when I looked for something that looked like they could use anywhere I could find something that was waterproof socks, so I actually purchased it and its performance I decided to try it.

This time I purchased BritishSealskins (SealSkinz)The company's "Shinmid Length Socks(5880 yen) ".


According to the commentary on the back of the package, it seems that it is stretching by inserting waterproof breathable film in a normal fabric in a folded state. The fabric is a blend of merino wool and nylon.


Looks like this. Although it is slightly thick silhouette, it can not be distinguished from general socks simply by looking at it. The weight is 67 grams in pair.


Sealskins logo looks something like this.


Although it is waterproof, it has enough elasticity unlike general raincoats and the like.



The part that puts feet also extends to BYYON about 1.5 times.



Although there are places woven with threads of different colors in some places, it seems like a design-like accents because there seems to be no big difference in the thickness of the fabric etc.



The back side is like this. Because it is wool so excellent in heat retention and antibacterial deodorizing effect is also high, even when used for mountain climbing etc. OK.


It actually looks like this. This time I used M size (for around 26.5 centimeters), but it is safe even for women and those with big feet because there are S (for around 24 centimeters), L (for around 28 centimeters), XL (for 28 centimeters or more) .


Although the ankle part etc. are somewhat loose, it is a level which is not so concerned.


Looking from the side it looks like this. It may be somewhat difficult if you have to take your shoes off at a formal seat, but it is a safe design that can be used in almost every situation in everyday use.


It is like this afterwards. It seems to be useful in cold times because its length is so long.


There is a seam in the center of the sole of the foot.


Sagging in the ankle part is conspicuous when seen from the front, but if it says whether it will drift downwards to say it is not such a thing, it is a level which is not much different from ordinary socks to the last.


I tried water with Bashabasha to test the waterproof performance.


In this way the fabric on the outside of the socks is completely visibly sucking water.


My feet are not wet at all.


Next we will prepare toilet paper with water like this.


As toilet paper dissolves in soup when it gets water even a little, it is a translation that if you put it in a sock, you can see the infiltration of water.


I will stuff like this.


I tried putting in the water Bashabasha.


Take out the toilet paper ... ....


It keeps the texture properly as paper like this and you can see that there is no water intruding.


It is not wet at all even if it is seen near.


Actually wearing socks and entering the water We can see the state that no water is coming in even if we put weight on the following movie.

In addition, I tried to go out for half a day on a rainy day to test the condition of stuffiness, but there was a little feeling of wetness of sweat between the fingers of the feet, but I could spend comfortably without skin becoming snowy. In case of completely submerging it, water remaining on the surface may make it easier to stuff because it removes moisture permeability, but if it is not translation walking in the pouring mouth the moisture of sweat properly evaporates It was confirmed that it was released outside. In addition, since we conducted the test at an air temperature of 8 degrees, the result may be different if it is midsummer.

People who would like to have their feet wet on rainy days but who wear rubber boots are a bit ... ... If you like people who like to enjoy climbing or cycling even on rainy days, please consider purchasing.
