Being a typical bloke, I have thrown away the leaflet that came with my Porelle Dry Socks. I assume that this leaflet contained some washing instructions, as there is no label on the garment itself.
Can anyone enlighten me as to whether any special care is needed, or is it just a case of throwing them in the machine with my other socks?
Love and socks from Rich x
[Hangs head in shame for owning these socks for many years and never yet having washed them]

From the leaflet: Porelle drys can be machine washed and tumble dried to 40 C Do not iron or dry out on a radiator or any other direct heat source
There are four symbols that I can't decipher but I think they cover all of the above.
This may be a stupid question, but why are you wearing Porelle Dry Socks at this time of year?
He's washing not wearing them! :-)
Drying Tip: Keep turning inside-out and outside-in, otherwise they'll never dry - assuming they're like Sealskinz - which seem to wash ok in a synthetic 40 degree program.
I think Porelle Drys *are* Sealskinz - I seem to remember a rebranding a wee while ago, with SS being the new name for PDs.
I *was* going to post saying that seems unlikely, as I bought a pair of Porelle Dry's a couple of years after my SealSkinz. They're completely different socks, with the Porelle's being a lot more comfortable, although I believe the Seal Skinz have evolved since then.
BTW I had a beginners lesson and the instructor reckoned that cyclists generally made good skiers. I may have proved him wrong!
Haven't a clue.
But as a youngster, I was a very keen skier. Particularly on climbing our local un-lifted dry slope. Didn't cycle at all.
Twenty years on, I'm a fat bloater who can suffer cardiac arrest when trying to lift my cheeseburger too fast, but I still have thighs that can outsprint many of our local clubbies.

The closest I've got to ski slope was the dry one in Harlow and even then that was for bombing down on with our bikes at midnight. I was a hooligan in my youth (i'm 21 so i'm not going too far back). :o)

You should come to Edinburgh. There is a down hill track beside the ski slope and you can take your bike up on the chair-lift, I think. -- Mark
