Waterproof Protection
A 100% waterproof membrane helps keep your feet dry when riding through rain, road spray and challenging winter conditions. The knitted construction combines this waterproof protection with the comfort and flexibility needed for cycling.
While the sock itself is waterproof, water can still enter through the opening at the top if the sock is submerged above the cuff or water runs down the leg. For the best wet-weather performance, wear water-resistant leg warmers or cycling bib tights over the top of the sock cuffs to help prevent water ingress.
Merino Wool Insulation
The soft inner lining contains 42% mulesing-free merino wool, providing natural insulation and temperature regulation alongside good breathability. Merino wool also feels comfortable against the skin, allowing the socks to be worn directly without requiring a separate liner sock.
Synthetic fibres are combined with the merino wool to improve durability and help the socks withstand regular winter riding.
Durability
The heel and toe areas are reinforced with nylon to provide additional durability in the areas exposed to greater wear. This makes the socks well suited to regular use throughout challenging winter conditions.
Fit with Cycling Shoes
The waterproof and insulated construction makes these socks noticeably thicker than lightweight summer cycling socks. Check that your cycling shoes have sufficient room before riding, as an overly tight fit can reduce comfort. GripGrab recommends testing available shoe space by trying your cycling shoes with two pairs of socks before choosing this thicker waterproof option.
Who It’s For
The GripGrab Merino-Lined Waterproof Winter Cycling Socks are for cyclists who want dependable warmth and waterproof protection for cold and very wet rides. Their waterproof membrane, merino wool blend lining and reinforced construction make them particularly suited to winter road cycling, gravel riding, mountain biking and commuting when keeping your feet warm and dry is a priority.
