Summer is the time for holidays, and therefore for active recreation. Many hobby hikers are seriously concerned about the problem of selecting high-quality equipment, so that it is comfortable and, at the same time, safe and economical. Neoprene socks are one of the latest developments for tourists, gaining increasing popularity.
Material of neoprene
In fact, neoprene is a specially foamed and elastic rubber, from which it is possible to make various garments. Initially, the material was designed for the needs of divers, it is from it that modern diving suits are sewn (so often neoprene is also called diving). Its properties make it possible to absorb water without passing it to the body, and, using the heat of the human body, heat it up to a certain temperature, so that the diver will always be warm and comfortable in such a wet suit. Neoprene tightly encircles the body, does not bind the movements and is produced in different thicknesses.
Neoprene socks - one of the latest developments, which was received at the "hurray" by tourists and lovers of outdoor activities. The advantages of this accessory were so many that they more than cover a few shortcomings.
Women's Neoprene Socks
The advantage of neoprene socks is that they fit tightly to the leg, so the possibility of rubbing is excluded (this is especially true for long hiking trips), they do not get dirt or small pebbles, which is another plus in the safety of these socks, and they are not moisture is passed, so the feet will always be dry.
Disadvantages of such socks for a long time was considered that, without missing water, they do not simultaneously remove the sweat that forms on the feet, but now these issues are solved thanks to a special system of moisture removal.
But still, such socks are recommended more for hiking in rough terrain, where it is often necessary to cross the water bodies and the question arises about the preservation of dry feet. For mountain hikes, these socks are not so relevant.
Women's socks made of neoprene, like men's, are available in several sizes (usually labeled s, m, l and xl), also often supplied with a special relief non-slip platform. There are models of low and high neoprene socks. This or that length is chosen based on the goals and complexity of the trip, as well as the terrain.
