Purple Turtle Leech Socks should be worn like a second pair of socks inside your boots and they pull right up over your trousers and above your knees. They can then be secured with a toggle and elastic draw cord both above and below your knees, thereby creating a continuous leech proof barrier.
Purple Turtle Leech Socks are constructed from a thin but tough, breathable synthetic fabric, making them perfect for trekking in the hot, wet and humid conditions that leeches love. They\u2019re usually available in several different colours and sizes and they\u2019re supplied with a draw-string bag for storage.
Size Guide \u2013 the right size for you depends on your height, not your shoe size:
\u2013 Short \u2013 approx 20\u2033 (51cm) long \u2013 suitable for children and adults up to about 5\u2032 6\u2033 (1.68m) tall
\u2013 Medium \u2013 approx 22\u2033 (56cm ) long \u2013 suitable for adults between about 5\u2032 6\u2033 and 5\u2032 10\u2033 (1.68m to 1.78m)
\u2013 Long \u2013 approx 24\u2033 (61cm) long \u2013 suitable for adults taller than about 5\u2032 10\u2033 (1.78m)
The size isn\u2019t critical \u2013 it\u2019s just a bit of a trade off between comfort and ease of use. The shorter they are, the more easily they stay up, although they may catch a bit at the back of your knees. The longer they are, the more likely they are to slip down a bit, but they\u2019re less likely to catch at the back of your knees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
