If you enjoy quality time on the slopes during the winter months, you will know only too well that keeping your feet warm should be a major priority!

However, once snow sport enthusiasts have invested time and money in acquiring the right helmet, jacket, salopettes, base layer, fleece, gloves and goggles etc, choosing the right socks can often become an afterthought. Yet, the entire experience of swooshing along the slopes with wild abandon, followed by après ski shenanigans, can be hugely compromised if your feet are cold or sweaty.

Sealskinz is a Norfolk based manufacturer of waterproof, windproof and breathable socks, gloves and hats for outdoor pursuits. BCH Camping stocks a selection of Sealskinz products, including Sealskinz Northwold Solo knee length thermal ski socks, designed for keeping your feet toasty warm in demanding winter conditions.

Sealskinz Northwold Solo knee length thermal ski socks

Let’s take a closer look at the Sealskinz Northwold Solo ski socks to find out why they tick all the boxes for successful snow sport outings.

Wool insulation

Wool is a natural insulator that keeps feet warm in sub-zero temperatures.

Highly breathable

For added comfort, the Sealskinz Northwold Solo sock is highly breathable, allowing air to flow while wicking moisture (sweat) away from the feet. This keeps the feet fresh and dry throughout the day.

Footbed padding

Padding in the footbed reduces the potential for pressure points which helps with shock absorption and avoiding metatarsal injury.

Blend of natural and synthetic fibres

The acrylic/merino wool blend provides a natural, insulated feel which is essential for high performance ski socks.

Ergonomic toes for a snug fit

A specific left or right toe alignment on each Sealskinz Northwold sock provides a comfortable and secure fit.

Durable

The integration of nylon increases the lifespan of the sock while handling any friction points with snow sport footwear.

Thermal insulation up to the knee

Designed up to the knee, the Sealskinz Northwold Solo sock provides extended thermal coverage which can be particularly welcome if snow powder infiltrates the gaiters.

The materials that make the Sealskinz Northwold Solo thermal ski sock such a high performance product

The Sealskinz Northwold Solo thermal ski sock is made of the following materials:

·         Wool                                     32%

·         Acrylic Merino Blend      32%

·         Nylon                                    34%

·         Elastane                               2%

Wool

Wool is not only a natural insulator, it is also naturally soft and has the moisture wicking properties that transfers perspiration away from the skin. Wool is also anti-microbial which prevents the growth of odour-producing bacteria to keep feet fresh throughout the day.

Acrylic merino blend

The blend of merino wool and acrylic, which has similar properties to merino, enhances the durability of the the Sealskinz Northwold Solo sock.

Nylon

Nylon also maximises the socks’ lifespan, and contributes to the moisture-wicking and breathability that enhance their performance.

Elastane

Elastane provides the stretch and recovery that allow the socks to fit snugly to your feet and legs.
