AWESOME ! Well…, Merry Christmas then ! These socks are an awesome addition to my kit. When you use them, let me know how it goes, what you think, etc ? JB⚡️H
These waterproof socks would be a great addition to your kit…. It is to mine. In the Smokies, there are a ton on water crossings. There is specifically one trail, Eagle Creek Trail, that I still have to do as I attempt to hike all 900 miles of trails in the Park where I will cross the creek 18 times within 8.9miles. You better believe I will be wearing my SealSkinz !!! Great to hear from you & thanks for the comment, JB⚡️H
I ❤️ The Smokies too! You’ll not regret getting a pair. I’m going to get a pair of warm weather for spring hiking in the Smokies… gonna be very beneficial when I hike Eagle Creek Trail and those 18 creek-crossings! - JB⚡️H
Outstanding piece of gear that us southern boys, like our northern peers, don't necessarily think about due to our warmer winters. However, as described in the description, my "Winter Hike Failure" video from last year in the Smokies caused me to pause and reevaluate the need. Thanks for engaging with the video by commenting. -JBEN
they are awesome…! Trust me ! To answer your sock question, I just wore them …because. I think they would’ve been fine with out. I’m still learning to trust them. You know the way us hikers are with our feet when hiking mileage. I hiked 13 miles in them, in the snow and stream-crossings here in Bama yesterday. They did great again, no issue… just dry feet 🙂 nice & toasty toes! I will buying a warm weather pair for spring hiking . I’m already envisioning not caring my trailrunners are wet for the next day. You know that dread of putting on wet shoes 😩! Thanks for watching the review & commenting, JB⚡️H
The hike on this video was 7-8 miles. I then hike again on my snowy wilderness hike video for around 14miles, then I hiked 2 days with them the on the Alabama Trip Crown for 37 miles without any excessive sweating or associated issues. - JBH
@@calebe16 Both me & my hiking partner hiked around 6 miles in them and did not experience anymore sweating (of feet) than normal. I wore darn tough socks with my seal skinz and my hiking partner did not (I think… can’t exactly remember), but neither he nor I got the feeling they didn’t breathe. Not all waterproof socks ( Cheap ones = you pay for what you get! Which maybe breathability issues and water egressing from the the top of the sock… ) are the same and there are different “SealSkinz” for “different temperatures or seasons.” It was so successful, that I ended up getting a thinner pair for warmer temperatures. In my opinion and testing, they are breathable. Without reservation, I recommend them. Thanks for asking ! - JBH
Isn’t it a funny feeling though ? You can feel the water run into your shoe and your foot gets chilled from the water. In your mind you really think you’ve just gotten wet. But Nope … nice and dry! Great video! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 👍
For this hike, my feet were not hot. We started out with it being in the low 30’s and got up to the mid 50’s. I wore them over my Darn Toughs and didn’t experience any sweaty feet. They are lined with merino wool, so you can wear with or without. The company does have warm weather waterproof socks, I have the cold. I will probably get a pair of warm weather sock for spring hiking in the Smokies. Totally worth a purchase ! JB⚡️H
I had no problem at all in them. Felt kinda squishy when they got wet, but other than that, it felt like a normal merino wool sock. I’ll probably get a warm weather (thin) pair for warmer hikes where there is a lot of water crossings. Such a great product ! ⚡️

I could so use these on the trails I hike. We are always crossing rivers and streams and I usually end up with one foot in them haha. Great review

Cool review
Thanks... I would say it is my VIP gear items for 2021!
Thanks for engaging,

THOSE..... Look awesome!! Did you feel you needed to wear the sticks underneath those for comfort? Or do you think you probably didn't need them?
they are awesome…! Trust me !

I need a pair
The question is: Over normal hiking socks, under socks, or instead of hiking socks?
Any good for long hikes..???.I'm worried about wearing em for miles... sweating, or something 😅
Thks for the review...kind regards from Oxford 🇬🇧

@@JBENHIKES thanks for replying...have fun and thanks very much...just bought them....😁
Does your feet usually sweat a lot?
I've read a few complaints of people who just got their feet all wet because the socks wouldn't breath as much.
@@calebe16 Both me & my hiking partner hiked around 6 miles in them and did not experience anymore sweating (of feet) than normal. I wore darn tough socks with my seal skinz and my hiking partner did not (I think… can’t exactly remember), but neither he nor I got the feeling they didn’t breathe.

EXACTLY !
That chill isn’t as bad as the icy cold normally experienced…right !?!
Thanks for the compliment & Merry Christmas 🎄 to you too.

But aren't they hot to hike in? Do you use them as an only sock, or over your existing hiking socks? Always wondered about these...
For this hike, my feet were not hot. We started out with it being in the low 30’s and got up to the mid 50’s. I wore them over my Darn Toughs and didn’t experience any sweaty feet.

Totally worth a purchase !

@@JBENHIKES Thanks, I will check them out! Merry Christmas!
Are they comfortable for all day walking?
I had no problem at all in them. Felt kinda squishy when they got wet, but other than that, it felt like a normal merino wool sock. I’ll probably get a warm weather (thin) pair for warmer hikes where there is a lot of water crossings.
Such a great product !
