NRS Hydroskin Sock

Item #NRS0054 | 140 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Not the 0.5 mm Hydroskin... but the 2mm Wetsock

By Ranked #283 - Kayak Clothing March 10, 2010

I just got these from Santa (The UPS man), and the ones I received are actually the 2mm Wetsock (http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2340) from NRS, and not the 0.5 mm Hydroskin (http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2342) sock in the description.

However... they do say "Hydroskin G3" on the sock... yet on the back of the tag, it the "Wetsock (2mm)" box is checked. (Not a big deal to me... BUT there is a 5 dollar, or 20% price difference between the two on NRS' website... ahem bc!)

As for sizing, I wear a 12/13, and ordered the XXL based on the sizing chart, and they fit great. There is even enough stretch to fit over a thin pair of wool socks.

I will include a performance review when I get out of the Grand Canyon in 3 weeks.
