Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

I love these socks!

I have Reynaud's disease -- a medical condition that describes poor circulation in the extremities, leading to cold fingers and toes all the time. Before I found Storm Socks, I had to be careful about my toes getting dangerously cold, numb, and frostbitten when outside in cold weather.

These are lightweight neoprene socks that act like a "wet suit" for your feet. They are not waterproof, they are designed to keep a warm layer of body heat next to your skin, even if in water or wind.

They are thin and fit inside your regular shoe size. I wear them with cross-country and skate-ski boots as well as telemark ski boots. I also wear them inside hiking boots for winter hiking or snow shoeing.

I've converted at least three other friends to these socks as well! My first pair lasted me two seasons of heavy use, and I am buying my second pair right now.

Best Uses

Running

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

These socks are great for layering over another pair of midweight socks for winter running. They are thin enough to still fit into your normal size running shoe and have lasted me several seasons without signs of wear. They help my feet stay warm even when the temperature dips below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and keep my feet dry enough when sloshing through sloppy puddles. It's like a pair of softshell trail shoes at a fraction of the cost.

Decent price but has its problems

Pros

Warm

Cons

Difficult to get on XL
Seams are uncomfortable
Uncomfortable

Best Uses

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

Cons: I am 6'3" 200lbs with shoe size 13 so I bought the XL size (11-13). They are a real pain to get on at this size. I've tried pulling them straight up, rolling them up from the toe, and other variations with little success. The rear (heel) seam is right along the bottom of the heel which makes for uncomfortable long-term travel and likely a few blisters. Front (toe) seam is just between the big and second toe, which is fine for me but people with other toe sizes it could possibly cause blisters if you travel a lot in them.

Pros: Once you get them on (10 minutes later), they feel great on the foot, with the exception of the seams. I don't expect them to be waterproof but they are plenty warm for wading in very cold water.

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

I bought these socks and the regular Seirus stormsocks. These socks feel a bit heavier and would probably provide better warmth, BUT they were so tight fitting that I could not get them on over my feet. When I finally managed to get one on, it took me 10 min. to get it off! I returned them to REI and kept the regular stormsock. I ordered the Large, which is my correct size, but the fit was impossible. Ordering the XLarge would have solved the on/off problem, but they would be too bulky and would bunch up in my boots.

Great Winter Running Sock

Cons

Best Uses

Running

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

A few of the reviewers have complained about how difficult it is to put on/take off these socks. While true (and I struggled at first with this issue), I would recommend the following - concurrently purchase some BodyGlide and apply liberally to your feet before putting socks on. After the BodyGlide is applied, the process becomes simple.

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

It was 28 degrees this morning (and windy) when I biked to work. These socks under another pair of fleece socks kept my toes comfortable throughout my ride. I wish they made liners to wear under my gloves because my poor fingers were pretty cold for the entire 45 minute commute.

Hard to get on and off

Best Uses

Cycling
Winter kayaking

Comments about Seirus Hyperlite Stormsocks:

I want to keep my feet warm on my 23 miles commute to work in the winter. I don't want bulk but need the warmth. They seem to work okay, but will need to experiment with my thick smart wools and compare. However, they are extremely difficult to get on and off, especially if your feet are the least bit sweaty. I think the cut around the ankle need to be less severe or more elastic.
