" These are the greatest gloves I've ever purchased. I am an avid fisherman and I have never been able to find a pair of gloves that were completely waterproof and comfortable to wear. I cannot stand wet hands! Well the sealskinz ultra grip black glove is the answer! I can honestly say that these gloves keep my hands totally dry. I find myself using them for general use around my house as well. Taking the dogs out in the rain, tossing their wet fetch toys and just working around the house in the rain.
Absolutely outstanding product! Very happy with my purchase. Several family members have purchased a pair since seeing mine. My brother says they are fantastic when riding his motorcycle and encountering rain.
THANKS a million!!
Michael "

" One sport you do not show is golf. I bought the Merino sock primarily for cycling but I wear them on very wet days as a insurance in case the golf shoes don't stand up to the weather.
One very chilly morning in January i was playing with a mate, i hit my paul into a shallow stream that surrounded the green. The stream was ankle deep, so i tucked my trousers into my Sealskinz and stood bang in the stream. From there i managed to shoot (well fluked!) out of the water and onto the green, save par and not one drop of water or chill touched my feet! if only Jean Van Der Velde had a pair, the history of the Open could have been so different!
So well done on a great product that has plenty of uses, in my sporting life. "

" Found out about SealSkinz through a pal when we went mountain biking, but they're even more use when going to music festivals - Glastonbury and T in the Park - suddenly mud isn't the threat to my weekend that it used to be. Excellent product, can't believe how effective and comfortable they were. "

" I am an avid Disc Golfer. Nothing can compare to the Sealskinz socks for early morning rounds of Disc Golf when the grass is still wet with dew. They are a lifesaver when it rains during a DG tournament. I also wore them while shoveling snow during the last winter storm. They worked great! "

" I've used my Sealskinz for more than a year during my time in the military. I've used them when I've been at OPs in arctic conditions, as well as patroling in tropical conditions. The gloves works like a charm, just some slight wear and tear, in the palm area, shows that they have been around for quite some time. I've used my sealskinz as shooting, working and warming gloves. And so far, they are the best all around glove I've ever used. Not only do they manage to preform OK, they acctually does it very very well. "

" Hey Sealskinz
I´m a pro Danish soldier, been this for almost 3 years now and have been one tour to Iraq.
As a soldier and highly active outdoor person, i almost demands the best of my equipment!
Only quality is in my stockpile of gear!
That´s why i use Sealskinz products!
A little test-story:
I started the day by putting my sealskinz long light socks on, then my uniform, i started out with a 3km walk with around 13 kilo´s in my backpack, then i was wet element: 10m in water that almost reached my hips, then 1km walk and through 10 meters of water reaching my knees, 1½ km walk and i setup my camp, i sat still for almost a hour, NO COLD OR WET FEET´S!!!
SEALSKINZ ARE MY ONLY SOCKS WHEN I´M GOING IN THE FIELD!!
Perfect fit, perfect insulation, perfect waterproofness "

" I was looking for a multi purpose glove that I could use on my Mountain Bike and for my snow boarding! But I couldn’t find one no matter how hard I tried, it seemed you could either have 100% waterproof massive shell type gloves or only windproof grip gloves that would let me be able to use my gears on the bike. Then I found the SealSkinz gloves in blacks and they do both, I couldn’t believe after a day on the slopes my hands were warm and dry. Awesome. "

" If you keep horses you tend to buy lots of things that you really don't need. However every now and then you buy a little gem. These gloves and socks are quite probably the best equine purchass i've ever made.
The hunting and cross country seasons are in winter and it gets really bitter. If your out riding horses for hours you've got enough things to worry about apart from bieng warm and comfortable, however I would be absolutly lost without my SealSkinz.
If you don't already have them, go ahead and treat yourself, like me you'll be glad you did! "

" SealSkinz are probably my most prized possession after pogies. There is nothing better than not having to try to wrangle cotton socks onto wet, freezing feet after a beach-launch in 30-degree weather. When practice starts in March, I can walk straight into the water without having to worry about my feet turning into little blocks of ice. Most excellent, I couldn't live without them.... or a dock, but as that's impossible, I'll take the SealSkinz. "

" We love our SealSkinz gear to bits. There nothing worse on a wind and rain lashed Training Ground in depths of winter than cold wet feet and hands. Best of all the socks easily fit our football boots and the pimpled gloves are great for handling footballs.

" I have just bought my first pair of sealskinz ultra grip 100%water proof gloves (KJ751). I was very sceptical about them, absolutely convinced that there was no way they could possibly be 100% waterproof!! I work with horses, my hands are always in water, washing buckets, carrying soaking wet hay nets and riding in all weather. I was sick of getting wet gloves and then cold wet hands. I can honestly say these are the best things I have ever bought. I can wear my gloves all day and my hands stay COMPLETELY dry!!! I have recommended these to everyone. A truly outstanding and essential item for anyone who works with horses!! Thank you x "

" Im no adventure racer or marathon person, just an outdoor enthusiast that does a lot of Kayaking, survival camping and backpacking. These gloves are great for all, They are very nimble and light weight, I can even light a lighter and smoke a cigarette with them on. They are strong enough to push of the gravel or rocks I drag on during kayaking in low river levels with out worrying about tearing them or puncturing. They keep my hands warm and safe, they are the best glove out there in my opinion compared to brands like NRS. A must have for any outdoorsmen/woman. "

Mrs Judith Wickman, SealSkinz saved my hand!
" On Sunday, I took my horse to the beach, a regular ride. My own dog ran up behind her, spooked her, and eventually I fell off. I managed to hold on to Caraid, my horse, for what seemed like an age, but could not stop her from rearing above me as I had such a tight hold, I think I was pulling her head up because of the angle I was at - and my dog was running around her. When she got away from me, my wretched dog chased her off the beach and she was caught about half a mile away, just at the main road.
You will understand how lucky we both were, and how frightened of the possibilities. Some complete strangers came to our rescue and help - how grateful am I! When I looked at my hands, my poor glove (I love my SealSkinz) was ruined - but it saved my hand, and I am sure that I was able to hang on to Caraid far longer, giving me a better chance at least. This is not a complaint - although I would not have expected my glove to tear I know that it is made of lovely soft leather.
I will buy another pair in due course, but I wanted you to see these - just think what my hand would be like if I hadn't been wearing them. Thank you!

" Can I say a very big THANK YOU regarding my SealSkinz socks. My partner and I have just completed the Southern Upland Way, (Scotlands coast to coast, 212 miles in June 2008.) We had a problem with my patners boots and needed to revert to using sandles and wearing SealSkinz socks. She finished the walk having walked a total of 176 miles with them on and not once did she have wet feet. Without your SealSkinz socks we would have had to abort the walk and come home early. So, thank you very very much for your socks. We are in the process of buying new boots minus the gortex layer inside them (who needs them when we have SealSkinz socks.) We look forward to many many walks soon with DRY FEET!!!!! "

I'm so impressed im looking at getting some more socks and some gloves to use when i play football in our lovely wet brittish climate!! "

" It's easy to fall for the hype surrounding many products that claim to be waterproof, but after weeks of cold and wet feet whilst pounding the routes of the Glentress mountain bike trail centre, I decided to try a pair of SealSkinz Mid Light socks.
What a difference!
My feet remain warm and dry, no matter what mother nature throws at me, and believe me when I tell you that dry feet makes a HUGE difference to a days riding pleasure.
I'd happily recommend them to anyone and will definitely buy another pair. "

Using my bare hands to do alot of wood work, lighting fire's and shelter building.
But once I found out about Seal Skinz from an outdoors shop in Ramsey Isle of Man I was made up.
Now all those jobs where I would have to using my bare hands in the cold, I can now use Seal Skinz, knowing they will keep me dry in all conditions as well as an extra layer of protection! Many Thanks Seal Skinz! "

" There are a few of in the 4x4 extreme challenge event driving comps wearing seal skinz socks, co-drivers can end up waist deep in mud and water and the driver is not always safe, the water can end up over the seats. But we always have warm dry feet.
Just wish i had found them years ago...

M is already way too big for the walking boots bought last year! $$$!!! Solution: a pair of SealSkinz and they can walk in anything - no worries, and socks s-t-r-e-t-c-h so one size fits all (at the mo!)=WIN! Thank you! "

" Cold, wet feet can sap morale as well as energy in poor weather when off-road biking but Sealskinz socks solve that problem. A cycle shop salesman convinced me to buy a pair while on a recent biking holiday in The Lakes - I was a bit dubious about the price but the shop said if I wasn't happy, I could have a refund. I won't be requesting a refund but I'll definately be picking up another pair. The only downside is that your rides take longer as you seek out puddles to try them out in!!! "

" The one thing i do like about your close fitting breathable caps are the great comfort and lack of irritation whilst wearing it.
Many similar products made out of fleece or other sweat wicking materials become irritating to wear when you are pushing out the heat.
You almost forget you are wearing this cap of yours and the contoured fit absolutely superb.
Depending on the season this cap will suffice for some serious weather,and is simply superb for Fellrunning in torrential persistent rain.
It keeps your head warm but not so that you overheat.
Its windproof properties when saturated are akin to Pertex.It will keep your body temperature just right.
With so many similar products by the many large competitors i am really glad i bought your cap as the fit and comfort are superb.
For my chosen sport Fellrunning its a must have accessory.
I have even bought one for my friend who drives hs Morgan Plus 8 in the deapths of Winter with the roof down.
As you can imagine its the perfect accessory for open top motoring.
Thankyou for a trully excellent product.
Cheers
Peter "
