The different types of technical socks to go to sea

Technical socks are not waterproof, they are really useful if you stay dry. Their purpose is to bring you comfort, warmth and breathability. Merino wool socks will perfectly meet these needs for example.

Waterproof socks, on the other hand, prevent water from penetrating, even if your shoes are wet. They are ideal as a complement to deck shoes, to keep your feet dry. These socks are a novelty in the world of sailing and are becoming increasingly popular with both leisure sailors and sport sailors.

Finally, neoprene socks are especially useful for dinghy sailing. The properties of neoprene become really interesting when it is wet, so you won't make much use of it on a dry deck.
