Water-Proof Athletic Socks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Performance Socks Feature a Moisture-Wicking Lining

— January 13, 2016 — Fashion
'Shower Pass' is now selling a line of water-proof athletic socks that feature a moisture-wicking lining. As many people know, there is nothing more uncomfortable than walking around in wet socks. However, now there is a solution for those who frequently end up with soaking wet shoes.

The 'Crosspoint Waterproof Crew Socks' are athletic socks developed by Shower Pass. The socks are made using a 3-layer construction process, which ensures that each pair is completely water-proof. The exterior later is made from a water-resistant knit that helps to keep moisture at bay. This layer is reinforced with an Artex membrane that is breathable and also water-proof. Finally, the inside layer boasts an anti-bacterial, moisture-wicking lining that is made from Merino-wool. This layer allows the wearer to enjoy the comfort of wool socks with the added protection of a water-proof exterior.
