Sealskinz says: 

The original, 100% waterproof, windproof & breathable mid length sock featuring hydrostop to reduce water ingress. The inner lining is crafted from fine Merino Wool to insulate and regulate temperature making this perfect for use in very cold conditions. Now with super soft face fabric.

Our Verdict

The Sealskinz Dunton ankle-length socks offer excellent waterproof protection in a more compact design, making them perfect for wet hikes where full-length socks aren’t necessary. I took them out in mixed conditions, and the Hydrostop feature worked flawlessly, keeping my feet completely dry despite soggy trails. The Merino wool lining provided good insulation without overheating, even in cooler weather and helped wick my sweat away.

At around 90g for a medium, they’re lightweight but still feel supportive, thanks to the zonal elastication. The footbed padding was a welcome addition on longer walks, offering excellent shock absorption. The anti-blister design held up, even after several hours of wear. They stayed in place with a snug, four-way stretch fit and remained comfortable throughout.

If you’re looking for a waterproof sock that doesn’t compromise on breathability or comfort, the Dunton is a solid choice for all-weather hiking.
