Top Waterproof Cycling Socks

Ride dry in any weather

For more than 25 years, Sealskinz has been trusted by hikers, cyclists, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts for performance-led waterproof accessories that thrive in the toughest conditions. Most notably, our waterproof socks have become essentials for adventurers worldwide. 
Whether you’re braving the UK’s unpredictable weather on muddy mountain trails or pounding the tarmac on wet winter roads, one thing is guaranteed: soggy feet. Enter waterproof cycling socks, versatile, high-performance essentials that elevate your ride in wet conditions. Our Sealskinz waterproof cycling socks are designed to keep external moisture out while allowing perspiration to escape, so your feet stay dry, comfortable, and blister-free. From mountain biking waterproof socks to road cycling waterproof socks, the right pair makes a real difference in the enjoyment of your ride and your overall foot health.

The Sealskinz Difference 

When it comes to picking the best waterproof cycling socks, you should be looking for:

True waterproof protection ~ a membrane or layer that blocks rain and puddles without trapping sweat.
Breathability ~ to regulate temperature and release moisture from the inside.
A comfortable fit ~ featuring lightweight fabric that remains supportive, with added features like arch elastication and seamless toes.
Durability ~ able to withstand years of pedalling through wet rides.
A low-odour fiber ~ such as bamboo or merino, for freshness during long outings.

Among top performers, the Sealskinz Billockby sock stands out as a stellar choice in both road cycling waterproof socks and mountain bike waterproof sock categories.

Seriously 100% Waterproof and Breathable

One of the most common questions people ask is "are they really 100% waterproof?", and the answer is simple: yes, Sealskinz waterproof socks are fully waterproof. Our hydrophilic membrane prevents water from passing through, meaning rain, puddles, snow, and mud won't reach your feet.
Another important question is, "But don't your feet get sweaty then?" While many assume waterproof socks will trap heat and sweat, our socks are engineered for breathability. The membrane allows internal moisture (like sweat) to escape, so your feet won't overheat whilst cycling through wet grass!
Our use of bamboo, merino wool, and other natural fibres in the inner lining also helps wick away sweat to further regulate temperature and reduce odour, making them perfect for year-round use.

Our Billockby sock

The Billockby is Sealskinz’s first sock crafted exclusively for cycling. It delivers serious waterproofing and comfort. Billockby has multiple features which sets it apart from a regular cycling sock: 

  • Aquasealz™ waterproof membrane: 100% waterproof and exceptionally breathable, the added layer of our patented Aquasealz™ membrane repels external moisture while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
  • Triple-layer construction: Billockby features three layers, each offering something different to enhance your ride. The outer layer is made from an extra-durable nylon which ensures longevity. In the middle is the Aquasealz™ membrane which is 100% waterproof and highly breathable. Aquasealz™ is very effective in the release of moisture vapour from inside the sock. Finally, the inner lining is made with bamboo fibres which are breathable and moisture-wicking, keeping feet aerated throughout the day.
  • Socks are lightweight, fitting snug inside cleats or cycling shoes of your choosing, without any bulking areas. Additionally, Billockby has arch elastication for midfoot support, hand-linked toe seams for blister-free comfort, and a mid-foot grip to prevent slipping when cycling in wet and windy conditions.

Perfect for wet commuters, gravel grinders, and mountain bikers facing downpours, Billockby truly defines waterproof cycling socks, and blends handily into all cycling kit needs.
