Socks

[Scuba_Noob]

My drysuit has built-in neoprene socks, and I wear DUI rock boots on the outside. I find that my feet get cold in longer dives. Is it possible to wear neoprene socks under the built-in socks to stay warmer? Are there better ideas?

I wear fourth element socks inside the neoprene attached socks on my bare suite, seems to work great. Keep me warm and wick away moisture ect

I am not sure I would try neoprene socks under / inside of the attached neoprene socks. But, I certaily would wear socks that provide additional warmth. Even some thin nylon siocks add some benefit. I often wear non-cotton ski socks for warmth.

It is possible and a number of dry suit manufactures offer a neoprene sock. I found that using a neoprene sock made my feet colder when they started to sweat during working dives. I just use a heavy ski sock with wicking properties.

Go to REI or your local ski shop. Get some nice warm wool (or equivalent) ski socks. You'll be nice and toasty.

I have no idea why Whites thinks the Mk2 is for 50F. When I dove a Fusion in 50F with the MK2 I was just as cold as in my 7mm. I wear two pairs of woolen socks, one thin and one matted.

Any good ski/hiking/athletic sock in general works fine. I would not rush out and buy anything until you are sure what you have does not work.

+1 on the 4th Element socks, I don't get cold feet when I wear them.
