Tactical Neoprene Socks
Neoprene Socks for Cold and Wet Conditions
People choose neoprene socks when wool or regular synthetics no longer help: in a wet trench, on winter fishing trips, while hunting or rafting. Neoprene fits snugly around the foot and retains heat even when water gets into your footwear. Prices range from 440 to 880 UAH.
The Downsides of Neoprene
The material lets air through poorly, so your feet will sweat on a long march. That is why neoprene socks are best where you stand or sit in damp conditions more than you walk. Wear a thin synthetic sock underneath, and let your feet dry out during breaks.
The water-repellent properties slow down soaking, but these socks are not fully waterproof. If you stand in water for a long time, it will get in through the top.
How to Choose the Right Size
Choose neoprene thermal socks exactly to your foot length, with no extra room. Excess volume bunches into folds and causes chafing. At the same time, they are thicker than regular socks, so check whether there is enough room in your boots: tight footwear squeezes the blood vessels, and your feet get cold faster. The 3 mm thickness is stated in the model name "Neoprene Thermal Socks 3 mm Black". For Termal Mest v2, the seller notes that the sizes run one size small.
For everyday wear and summer, choose other tactical socks.
