Neoprene socks for winter bathing

On this page you will find the neoprene socks that are best suited for winter bathing. They are thicker than other socks, which helps keep the cold water out. So you won't freeze your feet while you're in the water. So if you're one of those people who love winter bathing but need a little extra warmth when you're in the water, you've come to the right place.

Why neoprene socks for winter bathing are an advantage

Winter bathing is good for the body and soul, and almost everyone can join in. However, some people may need a little extra thermal insulation or buoyancy assistance, which makes neoprene socks perfect.

Neoprene has a high level of insulation, which means that the material retains heat well from the body. What's more, our range of neoprene socks for winter bathing come with an extra strap so you can close them tightly. This ensures that cold water doesn't get into the socks and fill them with water, making them heavy and cold to swim around in.

Furthermore, neoprene has a natural buoyancy, and the thicker the layer of neoprene, the more buoyancy. This makes it easier for you to move in the cold water, so you don't have to use unnecessary effort to stay afloat. This is especially beneficial for beginners or people who are not very technical swimmers for various reasons.

Since all our neoprene winter bathing socks come with a non-slip sole, they give you a good grip as you move towards or away from the water. Since winter bathing mostly takes place during the months of the calendar year when temperatures are below freezing, you can run the risk of the jetty or steps being slippery, which can quickly lead to an accident. This can quickly lead to an accident that can be avoided with a pair of neoprene socks.

If you enter the water from a sandy beach, a pair of neoprene winter bathing socks can provide some protection from pebbles and sharp objects like seashells. This means they also function as swim sandals, but you don't have to take them off before jumping in the water.

If you're going into the water in a place where there are larger sharp objects, such as sharp rocks, we would recommend using a pair of winter bathing shoes instead.

The easiest way to put on a pair of neoprene socks

It can take a bit of practice to get a pair of neoprene winter bathing socks on correctly so that they close tightly and you don't have to struggle too much. As a general rule of thumb, neoprene can be difficult to get on if you're wet but the neoprene is dry. This applies to both wetsuits and socks, but this problem can be quickly remedied by moisturising your socks a little.

However, we recommend that you put on your neoprene socks before you approach the water to make sure your feet are dry. It's just easier when everything is dry. When putting on your neoprene socks, the easiest way to put them on is to roll them onto your foot and then adjust them. That way you can be sure they fit properly.

Extend the durability of your neoprene socks for winter bathing

It's actually quite easy to extend the life of a pair of neoprene socks, as it's an easy-to-clean material. However, you should be aware that chlorine and salt water in general can be quite harsh on swimming equipment.

Therefore, it's important that you remember to rinse your neoprene socks inside out in fresh water. This ensures that all salt and chlorine is washed out of the neoprene, so it doesn't wear them down when you're not using them. After that, they really just need to air dry somewhere out of the sunlight, as sunlight has a similar effect on neoprene as chlorine and salt.

Don't put them in the tumble dryer, but let them air dry until they are completely dry so you can store them without mould or fungus.

Do you have everything you need for winter bathing?

There are many different pieces of equipment that can make being a winter swimmer a little easier and perhaps more comfortable. With a pair of neoprene socks for winter bathing, you're sure to keep your feet warm, but what about your hands? They are just as exposed to the cold as your feet, which can temporarily impair your mobility.

This can make it difficult to climb up a staircase in the shower, for example, as it can be hard to grip things with frostbitten hands. If this is a problem you encounter when winter bathing, we would definitely recommend a pair of winter bathing gloves.

The same goes for the head, and it's also recommended that you don't get your head under water when winter bathing. In the worst case scenario, this can cause the body to go into shock, which can lead to accidents. Therefore, if you are extra cold-shy, it may be a good idea to wear a neoprene hood.

But the most important thing is that you can quickly get warm and dry as soon as you get out of the water. Depending on your needs, you can find ponchos for winter bathing, cotton and microfibre towels, winter bathrobes and, not least, surf ponchos. So you're sure to find what you need as soon as you get out of the cold water
