Most trail running socks are simply dark colored running socks with no
specific "trail" features built-in. The Drymax Lite Trail Running socks
are the exception. Trail dirt inside a sock is a bad thing; it can
easily cause blisters or rib the skin raw. To help prevent dirt from
getting inside Drymax Lite Trail socks, we did not include vents. In
addition, the Lite Trail socks' double welted leg has extra padding
around the ankle. This extra padding protects the leg, and seals the top
of the shoe to keep out dirt and debris. Wet feet can be a trail
runner's worst enemy, and getting wet feet is almost inevitable. The
Drymax Lite Trail Running socks' Dual Layer Moisture Elimination System
actually removes sweat, sweat vapors, and water from the skin through
the inner Drymax layer to the outer absorbent layer. The double welt top
is made of Drymax fibers to repel water, so when a runner splashes
through a creek, the top of the socks stay dry. Drymax Lite Trail
Running Socks are a Medium+ Density protective padded sock. Dense
padding is used, as opposed to thick padding, as it protects feet
without adversely affecting the fit of the shoes. The Lite Trail Running
Socks were designed for use to be used in cool to warm conditions,
keeping feet dry, comfortable and odor free all day long.
