How are WSS products different?
🌊 Why Choose WSS Socks & Gloves?
Our gear is designed specifically for wild swimming in the UK — built for comfort, movement, and ease.
-
5mm sole on our socks for cushioned comfort and grip on pebbly beaches, rocky lake edges, or lido steps.
-
3mm throughout the uppers, gloves, and body warmers to keep you warm without restricting movement in the water.
-
Patented EasyOff™ design makes getting your kit on and off quick and simple — because we know wild swimmers love to get their kit off!
With WSS, you’ll spend less time wrestling with gear and more time enjoying your swim.
