Hafihz’s Analysis: This product sounds good. However when I do pull up the socks for ablution, the running water will still come into contact with the portion of the socks exposed. Also after prayers, my legs may be still wet, and I might have to just put my socks back on my damp legs. I wonder how long the socks take to dry up, and if they breathe well. Nonetheless the mere engineering and form speaks of genius.
I will keep you updated when I get my own pair and run it through my own ridiculous tests. Meantime if you have had experience with this one, let me know your thoughts.
However make no mistake, this product is rather ingenious. Alhamdulillah.
