I'm proud of this addition to the Speardiver line. For socks I wanted the comfort and warmth of open cell, but was concerned about toe nails tearing the sensitive interior. I came up with the idea of a reinforced toe area two years ago, when to my knowledge no other company made this kind of sock. Since then I know one other spearfishing gear manufacturer that incorporated this feature, but I still feel it's a Speardiver original.
The sole of the sock is made with Supertex, the same flexible durable material used for Speardiver wetsuits knee and elbow protection. The sole interior is lined with Lycra to prevent sipping inside the sock when walking, and not lose the stretchiness of the sock. As already mentioned the interior of the toe area is also lined with Lycra. This results in a sock that effectively stops water circulation providing great warmth for the feet, without sacrificing durability.
The socks are available in all the same patterns as Speardiver wetsuits, in thicknesses 3mm, 5mm (7mm coming soon), and sizes S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL Freedive Store - Socks.
