Portwest SK18 Thermal Work Socks for Cold Weather

Double-Layer Construction for Genuine Warmth:

The Portwest SK18 uses a dual-layer knit construction to retain heat during prolonged outdoor or unheated-environment work. The outer shell - 40% wool, 40% acrylic, and 20% nylon - traps warmth close to the foot, while the 100% Viafil inner layer adds insulation and moves moisture away from the skin throughout the working day.

Viafil Inner Lining:

Viafil is a branded polyolefin fibre used as the inner lining material in the SK18. It provides anti-odour and anti-fungal properties alongside effective moisture transfer, keeping feet drier and fresher during extended wear in cold conditions.

Comfort Where It Counts:

A seamless toe construction reduces friction and pressure points inside work boots, while cushioned heel and toe zones add durability and underfoot comfort during long shifts. The sock reaches 40cm up the leg, providing more coverage than a standard ankle or mid-calf work sock.

Tested and CE Certified:

The SK18 is tested to SATRA TM436:2010, the recognised standard test method for thermal insulation of hosiery and footwear. The sock carries CE certification and is produced with EU and UK Declarations of Conformity available from Portwest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these socks fit comfortably inside heavy work boots?

A cushioned heel reduces friction between the foot and the boot, and the seamless toe eliminates the pressure ridge that can cause discomfort during a long shift - both details that matter in heavy footwear. The socks reach 41cm in height, giving extended coverage of the lower leg. The EU 39-43 size range corresponds to UK shoe sizes 6 to 9.

How warm are these socks, and what cold conditions are they built for?

These are built for extreme cold working environments, using a double-layer knit construction with a polyolefin insulating material between the outer shell and inner lining to trap heat close to the foot. The 40% wool outer shell retains warmth even after repeated washes. Cold protection has been independently tested to SATRA TM 436 and the socks carry CE certification.

What is Viafil, and what does the inner lining actually do?

Viafil is the branded material used for the inner lining of these socks. It has anti-odour and anti-fungal properties, and transfers moisture away from the skin to keep feet dry throughout the working day. Combined with the polyolefin insulating layer and the 40% wool outer shell, it forms a three-zone construction designed to manage heat, moisture, and hygiene together. The SK18NAR39-43 uses this layered system throughout.

How should these socks be washed to keep them in good condition?

Wash at a maximum of 40°C on a normal cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Following these care instructions helps the wool outer shell retain its shape and the double-layer construction maintain its thermal performance over time.
