Waterproof Donning Lycra Fin Socks
The Waterproof Lycra donning socks help your feet slide through wetsuit legs and provide a thin fabric layer inside suitable fins or boots. They are a useful low-bulk accessory if dressing is awkward or a bare foot rubs against a fin pocket.
Features and benefits
- Smoother wetsuit entry: the Lycra layer reduces friction between the foot and neoprene, making it easier to guide the foot through without repeatedly pulling at the suit.
- Stretch comfort: the fabric follows the foot without adding the bulk of a neoprene sock.
- A barrier against rubbing: the thin layer can help reduce direct skin contact with a compatible fin pocket. Correct fin fit is still essential.
- Simple to pack: the lightweight socks take little space in a dive bag and can be used as part of your normal dressing routine.

Fit and use
Check the socks with your fins or boots: adding any layer changes fit. They should sit smoothly without folds, and footwear should still allow comfortable toe movement.
Gear Care and Washing
Rinse inside and out in cool fresh water after every use to remove salt, chlorine, sand and residue. Gently hand wash when needed with mild soap or a cleaner specifically authorised by Waterproof, following the garment label, then rinse thoroughly.
Allow both sides to dry completely in the shade with good airflow. Store clean and dry away from direct sunlight, heaters and hot cars. Avoid crushing the neoprene or leaving it folded sharply for long periods.
Protect smooth seals and coatings from fingernails, jewellery and scrubbing. Rinse any zip or fastener free of grit, and use only the maker’s approved lubricant where required. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, bleach or use solvents.
