This wool terry sock is made for fishing in cold water environments. A natural quality of wool fibre is that it stays warm even when it gets damp by condensation. By using terry loops on the inside, it gives the sock a layer of insulation / ventilation of air between your feet and the shoe. It can be used as a single sock, but also as an additional layer together with a thinner liner sock.
Wearing warm socks inside your waders while fly fishing is essential for several reasons. Firstly, wading in cold water can quickly lower body temperature, and warm socks act as a barrier against the cold. They provide insulation, preventing heat loss from the feet and ensuring that you stay comfortable and safe in chilly water environments. Secondly, warm socks help to maintain circulation. Cold water can constrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the feet. Wearing insulated socks improves circulation, ensuring that the feet receive adequate oxygen and nutrients, which is vital for comfort and preventing frostbite. Wearing warm socks inside waders contributes to overall body warmth. Cold feet can lead to discomfort and distraction, impacting your ability to fully enjoy the fishing experience. By keeping your feet warm, you enhance your overall comfort and concentration while on the water.
