Rydal Yulex Swimming Socks Natural rubber outdoor swimming socks

Warmer feet for longer swims

Cold feet have a habit of ending a swim early. Rydal Yulex Swimming Socks help keep the chill at bay, adding warmth and comfort when the water temperature drops or the distance starts adding up.

Made from 3mm Yulex natural rubber, they provide the insulation needed for cold water dipping, open water training and year-round swimming without feeling bulky or awkward in the water.

Highlights

• 3mm Yulex natural rubber - balances warmth and flexibility for swimming
• Split toe design - improves stability in the water and works with flip flops
• Adjustable ankle cuff - helps reduce water flushing and locks in warmth
• Textured sole grip - secure footing on wet rocks, slipways and jetties
• Comfortable seams - blind-stitched construction sits smoothly against the skin
• Lower impact materials - natural rubber from certified deforestation-free sources

Built for cold water comfort

Whether you're dipping through winter, swimming skins in spring or stretching out a summer lake swim, keeping your feet warm can make a surprising difference to how long you stay comfortable in the water.

Rydal uses 3mm Yulex natural rubber throughout, providing extra insulation while retaining the flexibility needed for swimming. The split toe design helps prevent the foot from rolling in the water, giving a more stable and natural feel when swimming. As a bonus, it also means you can wear flip flops on the walk down to the water's edge without having to remove your socks first.

An adjustable ankle cuff helps create a closer seal around the ankle, reducing water flushing and helping maintain warmth throughout your swim. Blind-stitched seams improve comfort against bare skin, while the hexagonal grip pattern on the sole provides extra traction when navigating wet rocks, slippery slipways and algae-covered steps.

Choose Rydal for...

Cold water dips where keeping your feet warm makes all the difference. Longer training swims when your toes usually decide they're finished before the rest of you. Early-season lake swims, shoulder-season river adventures and year-round open water sessions where a little extra insulation helps you stay comfortable for longer.

Perfect paired with a wetsuit, but equally useful for skins swimmers looking to extend their time in the water.

Super natural performance

We've designed the Rydal using 3mm Yulex - a natural rubber foam from internationally certified deforestation-free sources. It's a plant-based alternative to traditional neoprene for swimmers who refuse to compromise between comfort, performance and the planet.

Designer's notes

"Introducing our new Yulex range is something we're incredibly proud of. The latest Yulex 2.0 materials are more flexible than ever allowing us to develop an open water swim collection using the technology without compromising performance. As a brand, we're always looking for innovative materials which are less impactful to the planet so Yulex is a natural step forward in our sustainable, versatile swim range."
