DexShell recommendations for the Winter Spine

Here are our DexShell waterproof socks and gloves recommendations for the 2027 Winter Spine Race. 

We're frequently asked which DexShell socks and gloves we recommend for the Winter Spine. Here are our thoughts for the 2027 winter Spine. 

DexShell socks for the Spine:

Longlite 2.0 Socks

Undoubtedly the most popular choice for the winter Spine and the one we recommend above all others. The Longlite 2.0 is a knee length waterproof sock that is a total game changer in cold, wet conditions and boggy ground. They can of course be worn rolled down too. Worn by many past winners, including Anna Troup.

Running Lite 2.0 Socks

DexShell's most popular everyday running socks. The Running Lite 2.0 are a good choice for anyone who dislikes knee length socks or for use in more benign conditions.

Thermlite 2.0 Socks

The Thermlite 2.0 feels a little more like a conventional walking sock that the Running Lite 2.0 and is a little higher in the cuff.

Terrain Walking Socks 2.0

Thicker and warmer than the Running Lite, Thermlite and Longlite, the Terrain Walking 2.0 Socks may be a little thick for some users who are wearing running shoes, but for anyone looking for extra warmth in a boot these are ideal.

 

DexShell gloves for the Spine:

Ultra Thin Waterproof Running Gloves

New for 2027, the Ultra Thin Waterproof Running Gloves will be a good choice for those looking for a thin glove that gives a lot of dexterity. They aren't particularly warm though so are may be a better choice for those moving quickly (and generating more heat) or for anyone who doesn't tend to suffer cold hands. 

Thermfit 3.0 Gloves

The Thermfit 3.0 Gloves are still thin and flexible but have a little extra warmth courtesy of the merino wool inner. They're still 100% waterproof and breathable and make a good choice for the winter Spine. 

Stretchfit 2.0 Gloves

The Stretchfit 2.0 Gloves feature both a merino wool inner and DexFuze technology. DexFuze is a full lamination technology, meaning the outer shell, Porelle® waterproof membrane and inner layer are bonded into a stable single structure, helping reduce internal movement and improve handling control. These are our no.1 recommendation for most Spine competitors as they provide good warmth combined with excellent dexterity.
