Be interested to see how easy they are to turn inside out.

Have not used those, but most mesh socks fail to catch much. Info says they are 150 micron but that seems unlikely since you can see through the material.

They are super easy to clean and to turn inside out. Perfect for Waterbox cascaded filter sock holders. They slide in and out effortlessly, I use to struggle with getting all other filter socks with the seam on the outside. My Waterbox sock holder holes are a little smaller then most, not as small as Red Sea but just smaller enough to not get an easy flush fit. They clog like smaller 8”150 micron socks though. How long they last we will see. Keeps my water and sump clean. Been using them since mid June I think

Appreciate that, the regular 200 -100 micron socks last about 6 wash cycles before the strings, wear and dingleberries show
