Wigwam Ultimax Lightweight Ski Sock -- Not Just for Skiing

Written: Apr 16 '07 (Updated May 04 '08)
  • User Rating: Excellent
  • Overall Quality:
Pros:Great comfort and protection.
Cons:Not good for wearing during hot weather.
The Bottom Line: Give them a try for comfort skiing or needing for keeping ticks and fleas from biting from hunting or hiking.

Intro

One of the most versatile ski socks available that is lightweight, however it has dense cushion pads and the foot-jersey leg style allows for excellent boot fit. Smooth looped toe seam and cushioned sole. Spandex is knit throughout the entire leg.

Why I Bought

I wanted some long socks for hunting during the warmer weather when the fleas and especially the big deer ticks are really nasty to have to dig out, since sometimes it may require going to doctor or hospital to have them removed safely if the deer ticks dig in deep.

Durability

These socks will last you for years to come as long as you keep yours shoes properly tied and toenails reasonable length; meaning that you feet are not loose in the boots rubbing against the heel portion and your toenails are at normal length so they do not essentially cut through the sock itself. Another thing that is important is proper washing and drying to extend life of the socks.

Care Instructions

Turn socks inside out before washing. Wash in warm water. DO NOT BLEACH. Fabric softener is recommended for preservation of the synthetic fibers and to retain softness of the cotton. Tumble dry with medium heat.

Other Care Directions

A fine point that is not well known is that you should not just forcefully pull on your socks because it causes permanent stretching which eventually will tear a hole in the socks or make them to where they are too loose to wear. Gently roll or bunch the socks pass on over toes to the heel then gently bring them up towards your calf. The point of this to simply prevent stretching and allow for them to be in service for years to come. I have done this practice with (my diabetic socks that I use for controlling swelling) and steel toe shoe socks since 1997 (nine years and believe it or not some of the socks I still have from that time frame) and really does extend the life of the socks in general but especially in the heel region.

At some point during the time which you have these socks if you notice a loose end clip it as close as you can carefully to the sock with scissors to prevent premature unraveling or bunching or pulling or breaking. (Do not just pull a loose strand by hand.)

Times to be used

Everyday activities are wonderful for these socks except for running and wearing them in the extreme heat of summer, other than that they are excellent.

Sizes Available

Small, Medium, and Large.

Content

42% Lumiza Acrylic, 35% Olefin, and 23% Nylon,

All Colors of Manufacture

Red, Heather Blue, Navy Blue, Black, and Heather Gray. But the sock is most commonly found only in Heather Blue and Black, so good luck on finding the colors if you want to get other than Black and Heather Blue.
