The Drymax Lite Crew Cut Hockey Skate Socks CD (Cosmetic Defect; due to slight yellowing of the yarn. No returns allowed) help keep your feet dry during the game offering improved performance. No fiber technology attracts & repels sweat simultaneously. So to keep feet dry, Drymax uses sweat repelling Drymax fibers on the Skinside™ and sweat attracting fibers on the outside. Sweat doesn't stick to Drymax fibers, so it moves completely through to the outer layer keeping your foot drier and improving the fit of your skates, especially late in the game.
The Hockey specific sock features an ID patch, as well as a lace bite pad. The Drymax Lite Hockey sock is a thin performance sock that offers over-the-calf length. Drymax states these socks are up 25 times drier than other performance

Comments: I wear these in my hockey skates. They keep your feet dry. Come to think about it, they would work well in golf shoes and hiking boots too.
From: Wayne, McCall, ID
Comments: These socks are so good - from the lacebite guard, to the overall fit, it is clearly for me, the best sock I have used. Little bit on the thin side, which I personally like. I work at a rink which means I am on my feet a good 3-5 hours everyday and it is amazing how these socks don't get wet! My feet are perfectly dry! Just one note: the crew cut socks come up to the middle of your calf.

Comments: I purchased these socks for inline skating outside during the hot summer months. I wore them last weekend and my feet were bone dry
after 12 miles of skating, and after wearing them for about 90 minutes. While they claim to be "Crew" socks that come to mid-calf, mine come all the way up my calf, and I have long legs at 6'0". This results in rather a lot of sock above the top of my RB Tempest 110 skates; note that I wear a size 12 shoe, which means buying the XL size socks. Recommended.

Comments: GREAT socks - i guarantee you can't get these wet. Even after washing them they feel just SLIGHTLY damp whereas other socks are still soaking wet. I've been using mine for about 3 months now and they're as dry as new after a game, every single time.

Comments: Nice fit! Very light and perfect for skates. Highly recommended.
