Interesting comments from the horse's mouth on this thread (and great to see them taking an interest).
I've always shied away from tumble drying them, instead popping them on the radiator to dry....DOH!
Love them as a product though - yes they let water in down your leg if wearing shorts but I still have toasty feet 🙂
Well tonight was my first ride with mine in the wet and I have to say they were absolutely awful. They were far worse than normal socks as they filled with water and the water stayed there. When I got home I was able to take them off, turn them upside down, and pour the water out them.
To add to the socks being crap, the Sealskinz gloves I bought fell to pieces after the 4th ride...
In their defence they were warm and waterproof when they worked but all the stitching has came away between the pinky and ring finger on the right hand and there's now a massive hole there.

Just to add to this thread. Having taken the advice given by "Sealskinz" above, I started to tumble dry my socks on a cool setting..... and they delaminated. When I sent them back, they were returned with a note saying that I had obviously hot washed or tumble dried them so it was my own fault.
Moral is, don't believe everything you read on this forum! And don't put your sealskinz in the tumble dryer.
