SealSkinz Starston Waterproof Cold Weather Mid Length Socks

The original, mid length, military-trusted Starston sock. Waterproof and breathable, the Starston thrives in cold environments. The Aquasealz membrane releases internal moisture, while denying the entry of water. Premium merino wool interior is soft and insulative, with natural odour-resistance. Built for cold, high-altitude pursuits.

Features:

• Designed for the cold, the Starston is insulative, moisture-wicking and waterproof.
• A merino wool interior, with terry-loop knitting, has strong thermal properties.
• Merino wool absorbs moisture away from the body, improving breathability.
• An engineered nylon blend exterior has similar moisture wicking properties, highlighting the cohesive functionality of the garment.
• The Starston's Aquasealz membrane is 100% waterproof, sitting discretely in the mid-section of the sock.
• Essential for an extensive range of mountaineering and climbing disciplines, involving high-up, cold temperature terrains.
