Moisture causes painful/race-ending blisters, Athlete’s Foot, odor causing bacteria and over-all discomfort. Runners’ feet are going to get wet either from sweat, puddles, wet grass, rain, or by getting splashed at a race water station. In cold/freezing weather, moisture pulls heat away from the skin 23 times faster than air, reducing the temperature so rapidly that wet feet become painfully cold and much more susceptible to frostbite or Non-Freezing Cold Injury. Marketing Hype Can’t Escape the Laws of Physics Wicking fiber socks all claim to keep feet dry. However this is marketing hype and doesn’t change the facts that wicking fiber socks are not able to keep feet dry. Most wicking fibers are made from polyester, acrylic, nylon or wool and are Hydrophilic (water liking) because they have positive & negative charges on their surfaces. This attracts the negative & positive charges of the water or sweat molecules. Moisture sticks to wicking fibers Because wicking fibers attract moisture and are next to the skin, they hold moisture against the skin, keeping skin wet. Once wet, wicking fiber socks remain wet until well after the sweating stops and the slow process of evaporation inside a shoe takes place. Wicking fibers hold moisture against the skin WICKING FIBER SOCK Wicking fiber sock manufacturers say their socks wick moisture “away” from the skin. This is misleading as wicking fiber socks also WICKING FIBERS wick sweat across and towards the OUTSIDE skin, which helps keep the skin wet. WICKING FIBERS Wicking fiber technology works better for a shirt INSIDE were the sweat can evaporate to the open air, SKIN versus a sock that’s trapped inside a shoe where (SWEAT) little if any evaporation can take place. Wicking sweat across the skin 4 photo: Luis Escobar THE SOLUTION TECHNOLOGIES THE SCIENCE OF KEEPING SKIN DRY Dryness Only 2 Different Technology Layers Can Provide The laws of physics dictate that no single fiber technology can attract and repel moisture at the same time. To overcome this, drymax products utilize two opposite type fiber technologies interwoven to form inner and outer layers. Super Hydrophobic Fiber Technology drymax fibers do not wick because they are Super Hydrophobic (moisture repelling). At the molecular level, moisture doesn’t adhere to the inner layer of drymax terry loops. drymax molecule drymax FIBERS REPEL MOISTURE DRYMAX SOCK Removing Sweat From The Skin Because moisture does not adhere to the drymax fibers, they are able to OUTER mechanically lift sweat off the skin like a LAYER squeegee and instantly transfer it into the DRYMAX moisture attracting outer layer without FIBERS retaining moisture on the inside.

RETAIL PACKAGING In cold or freezing temperatures, moisture is the skin’s worst enemy. Moisture pulls heat away from the skin 23 times faster than air, and can reduce skin temperature so rapidly that wet feet feel painfully cold. Wet skin makes the feet much more susceptible to frostbite and Non-Freezing Cold Injury. Staying dry is critical to remaining warm, comfortable and safe in cold weather BEST at and no sock has proven to keep feet drier than drymax technology socks. KEEPING FEET WARM The wind chill factor often causes the front part of the leg to become the coldest; therefore a third layer of drymax fiber insulation was added along the Cold Weather sock’s leading edge.
