Portwest SK18 Thermal Work Socks for Cold Weather
Double Layer Construction for Lasting Warmth:
The SK18 uses a double layer knit design that traps a layer of warm air close to the skin. The outer shell contains 40% wool alongside acrylic and nylon, while the inner layer is 100% Viafil - a branded fibre chosen for its insulating and moisture-transfer properties.
Comfort Through Long Working Days:
A cushioned heel reduces friction during prolonged wear, and the seamless toe construction eliminates pressure points that standard seamed socks can cause. The knit gauge of 9 helps the sock retain its shape wash after wash, so the fit stays consistent over time.
Antimicrobial and Moisture-Wicking Performance:
Polyolefin insulating material within the construction supports moisture management, drawing perspiration away from the skin to keep feet dry. The antimicrobial and anti-odour treatment makes these socks practical for full-day use in cold, damp, or demanding outdoor environments.
Cover and Certification:
At 41 cm in height, the SK18 provides coverage well up the lower leg - useful under work boots and cold-weather footwear. These socks are certified to SATRA TM 436 and carry CE certification, confirming they meet the requirements of relevant PPE standards.
