High Thermal Socks, Model KL09/WR: High-Performance Insulation for Waders
Working submerged or in ultra-wet areas without proper thermal protection is a physical challenge. When cold creeps up your legs, numbness sets in and moisture turns your waders into icy traps. This loss of thermal comfort seriously affects your alertness and safety in the field. These high thermal socks are the technical barrier designed to stop the bite of cold, even during prolonged use.
The experienced professional protects their mobility as much as their health. This 70 cm liner ensures constant warmth where standard protections stop.
Why choose this model?
✔️ Full protection over 70 cm: Its exceptional height guarantees a continuous thermal barrier along the entire leg, ideal for work in aquatic or muddy environments.
✔️ Moisture regulation: The technical felt captures sweat to efficiently wick it away, keeping feet dry even during intense physical effort.
✔️ Abrasion shield: Its high-density structure protects the inside of your waders from mechanical friction, extending the lifespan of your PPE.
✔️ Active felt insulation: Creates a stable microclimate around the limb, preventing heat loss through thermal convection.
Technical details
The effectiveness of these high thermal socks lies in their polyester and polypropylene fiber blend. This combination offers superior felting density, able to withstand the pressure inside boots and waders without collapsing. This European-made liner not only insulates; it optimizes work comfort by eliminating friction points. Its technical design promotes capillary moisture wicking to the outside of the liner, avoiding the textile saturation often encountered with cotton or traditional wool.

✔️ 70 cm
✔️ Felted : Provides optimal thermal insulation while protecting the liner from premature wear caused by foot friction inside the boot. The natural ability of felt to absorb sweat keeps the foot dry.
Taking care of your equipment means preserving your protection.
Our clothing is designed with cutting-edge materials to face the most extreme conditions. Whether it's PVC armor or a breathable membrane, each textile has its own requirements.
This guide concerns our insulating materials. These materials work by trapping warm air close to your body. Improper care that crushes the fibers or alters the silver particles drastically reduces their heat-retaining power.
🚿 Washing: Preserve volume
- In machine: Synthetic or delicate cycle at 30°C. Cold washing prevents premature "pilling" of the fleece.
- Precaution: Do not overload the drum. Insulators (Wadding, Felt) need space to avoid mechanical compression.
- Choice of detergent: Mild liquid detergent. Avoid powders that can clump in the fibers of felt or wadding.
- Warning: For the Termoizol technology, never use bleach or chlorine-based products. They could oxidize the metallic layer that reflects your heat.
💨 Drying
- Ideal method: Flat drying on a rack. This prevents the weight of the water from deforming the felt or causing the wadding to settle to the bottom of the garment by gravity.
- Tumble dryer: Possible at very low temperature for fleece and wadding (this helps restore loft). Not allowed for felt (risk of shrinkage).
- Ironing: Unnecessary and strongly discouraged. Synthetic fibers can instantly melt under the heat of an iron.
🧱 Storage
- Method: Store your clothes in a dry place, preferably on hangers or folded without weight on top.
- Pitfall: Avoid storing your wadding or termoizol items in vacuum compression bags for long months. Prolonged compression "breaks" the fiber and reduces its ability to trap air in the future.
🩹 Repair
- Fleece: A simple strong stitch is enough.
- Wadding & Termoizol: In case of a tear, it is crucial to patch the hole quickly (even with temporary adhesive) to prevent the insulating filling from escaping or fraying.
- Pro tip: For Termoizol, prefer an internal repair to avoid disturbing the thermal reflection of the silvered layer.
