The DryMax Lite IW Hockey Sock is our most popular DryMax sock, offering some of the best moisture management and overall comfort on the market. DryMax's exclusive "DryMax" dual-layer fabric features a moisture-repellent internal layer that forces moisture to the outer layer, keeping feet dry all game long. They included thin padding on the top of the foot for hockey-specific comfort to help protect from lace bite.
DryMax engineers their socks in a true three-dimensional fashion for an anatomically-correct fit, unlike the two-dimensional industry standard. They also use strategically-placed vent zones in the foot arch and between the toes to help promote constant airflow. Lastly, they included an ID or Player Number square to make identifying individual socks much easier in congested locker rooms.

Comments: Socks run large. I wear a 7.5 Bauer skate and a 9.5 sneaker. I ordered the medium size and they fit just fine.

Comments: These things are huge. I wear a 9.5 and the socks go over my knees by about an inch. IF you want true over the calf I recommend sizing down. I can't even wear these things because they are too high.
