Drymax HD Hiking Socks Get Some Good Press

Drymax Hiking HD Sock Line

The great reviews keep coming for Drymax socks, this time is Hiking HD's. This newly released sock addresses those hikers and adventurers who demand warmth and strength suitable for any serious expedition.

Here is the review from Accent Magazine:

"Since the dawn of time, wool socks have been used to keep feet warmer than socks made with other fiber types, but now a man-made fiber called Drymax has been proven to be far superior to wool. Socks made with Drymax keep feet warmer because they are as much as 25 times drier than wool, and because Drymax is also less thermally conductive, it draws about 20% less heat away from the skin than wool. It is also more druable than wool. The MicroZap silver antimicrobial in the Drymax fibers actively fight odor-causing bacteria.

Wet socks are a hiker's worst enemy, especially in cold or freezing temperatures. Wet socks pull heat awy from the skin 23 times faster than dry socks reducing skin temperature so rapidly that wet feet feel not only painfully cold, but are much more susceptible to frostbite. Drymax Dual Layer keeps feet dry and comfortable in cold, hot or wet conditions. The fibers do not wick because they are water repelling. The sock is a high density protective padded sock, keeping them warm without adversely affecting the fit of the boots.

All the fibers used to make Drymax Hiking HD Socks are solution dyed, locking in their pigments, producing colors that do no bleed or fade. This process creates no dye waste water to be dumped into the environment. Also no bleach or fabric softeners are used in manufacturing.

The Hiking HD socks are designed for use in mild to cold conditions, keeping feet dry, odor and blister free all day long.

In addition to all of these positive attributes, you will probably find Drymax socks to be the most comfortable you've ever worn.
