Watery neoprene socks for open water - Thermal Reptile (3 mm) - Black

Know the feeling of ice-cold feet on the jetty and sharp stones under your toes? The Thermal Reptile socks in 3 mm padded neoprene keep your feet warm and protected, so you can enjoy winter swimming on your own terms.

Your feet are one of the first places to get cold. In cold water, your body draws blood in towards your vital organs, and that's when your toes feel the cold and start to sting. With socks on, you avoid that - on the cold jetty, as you walk in from the beach and in the water.

You still get the benefits of winter swimming

Wearing socks isn't cheating. The effect winter swimmers are after comes from cooling down the body - chest, back, stomach and legs. Your feet are only a small part of your body's surface, so you still get the same beneficial effects.

Why winter swimmers choose these socks

• Warm feet: 3 mm padded neoprene holds in the heat, so your toes don't hurt.
• A good grip on the jetty: The sole has grip, so you stay steady on slippery steps, stones, sand and concrete.
• Protection against stones and shells: The socks protect your feet from both the cold and sharp stones and mussel shells.
• Easy on and off: A simple Velcro closure that you can open - even with cold fingers.
• Stays in place: Covers the whole foot and well above the ankle, and the Velcro keeps the sock in place in the water.
• Full freedom of movement: Flexible neoprene that fits snugly like an extra layer of skin.
• Visible in the water: Silver reflective details.

How to choose your size

Choose your normal shoe size. The socks are true to size.
