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 vapor 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.

Sealskinz socks incorporate our unique seamless, close fitting, three layer technology.

PRODUCT REVIEW – SealSkinz – Waterproof Breathable Thin Socklet – by Andrea R4W forum member

Style – These socks didn’t look massively attractive but that’s not really the purpose of socks. They certainly looked like a good pair of outdoor socks and would fit in with any outdoor kit. Score 3/5

Comfort/Fit – When I took these out of the packet they felt stiff and I didn’t think I would like the feel of them but I was really pleased once I tried them. The fit was excellent and they molded to my foot really well. They were really comfortable. Score 5/5

Freshness – After running a 10k in these, my foot felt fresh and there was no sweaty foot smell. I did a hike in them also, using them under walking socks and this worked well too. After washing they retained their look as shape. Score 5/5

Quality – This is a really good quality product. Score 5/5

Overall – I know that I will get lots of use out of these socks, both for running and also other outdoor activities. I would say that this is an excellent outdoor socklet. Water got into my shoe when on one of the walks and the waterproof socklets held up well. I would buy these again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sock which can be used for running and other outdoor activities. Score 4/5
