I've never used the socks myself so I don't know. They are for extreme conditions and I imagine they restrict the air flow. I would put them in the glove box for when the weather is not fit for travel. I've gotten caught 3 times far from home (race track) and had to drive 60 miles at interstate speeds in a deluge. I'll admit to being extremely nervous but nothing bad happened ..... well the lights fogged up a bit. I've heard of cars hydro locked here but all were from being foolish or hit by a huge wave of water. Here all the streets have 2 names, one when its dry and we just put "Rio" in front for when it rains. So Calle Tartak becomes Rio Tartak.
