SealSkinz Technology
The kit kept our fingers and toes dry and warm in some very wet and slushy conditions. Our boots were often soaked, but our feet remained dry, essential for our future well being when we hit Antarctica where dry feet and hands will make the difference between serious injury or not.

Our waterproof socks and gloves use patented technology, ensuring the ultimate in waterproof and breathable protection for the feet and hands.
Great in the cold and wet, the waterproof technology keeps you warm and dry. Even when it’s warm, sweat is pulled away from the body and leaves through the highly breathable membrane.
As a result SealSkinz products ensure your feet, hands and head always remain totally dry. They also reduce the chance of blisters on your feet as the three-layer technology helps to prevent your foot being rubbed against your shoe.
SealSkinz exceptional technology uses a unique seamless three layer construction – an outer, a waterproof, highly breathable membrane and an inner lining.
How They Work
Inner Layer
The inner lining has been specially developed to actively wick moisture away from the skin to increase comfort and warmth and reduce the chance of blisters. It is made from either Coolmax or Merino wool.
Middle Layer
The waterproof breathable membrane is inserted using patented technology and allows perspiration, as water vapour to escape whilst preventing water coming in. The membrane typically has a breathability of greater than 65% WVP, making the socks and gloves completely waterproof, highly breathable and windproof.
Outer Layer
The outer layer is designed for extra durability and abrasion resistance with stretch to fit properties. It is tough and durable designed to stand up to all weather conditions.
