USEFUL INFORMATION
WHAT IS THE FIT OF SEALSKINZ
SOCKS LIKE?
The close-fitting nature of our socks means
they fit comfortably, just like a normal sock
in your shoes. The 3-layer construction also
helps guard against friction that causes
blistering.
WILL SEALSKINZ SOCKS, GLOVES
AND HATS KEEP ME WARM?
Yes. The 3-layer system used in our socks
is inherently warmer than a traditional
non-waterproof sock and the membrane is
windproof as well as waterproof. Of course
the biggest factor is keeping dry as you
will feel considerably warmer when your
feet, hands and head are dry!
HOW DO SEALSKINZ SOCKS REDUCE
BLISTERS?
Blisters are formed because of excessive
friction on the skin. Wet skin, being softer
than dry skin, is far more susceptible to
blistering. Our socks reduce the chance
of blistering by keeping your feet dry.
The patented 3-layer system eliminates
movement between the shoe and the skin,
further reducing blisters.
DO I NEED TO WEAR LINER SOCKS OR
GLOVES?
Sealskinz waterproof socks and gloves are
designed to be worn directly next to the skin
with no liners. However, if you do need an
extra layer for warmth, our liner socks and
gloves are perfect. Made with Merino wool,
they are both warm and have excellent wicking
properties – a must for any liner.
Of course, the liner gloves and socks are
also great when worn by themselves.
WHAT IS THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE THAT
I CAN WEAR SEALSKINZ GLOVES AT?
It’s difficult to say as everyone feels the
cold in a different way. It will also depend
on the activity and the weather conditions
but our products can be worn in conditions
ranging from summer warmth, through to
extreme cold. The thermal rating system is
our own guidance to the relative warmth of
different hats, gloves and socks – the higher
the thermal rating, the colder the weather
condition the product can be used in.
HOW DO I WORK OUT MY GLOVE SIZE?
To ensure you purchase the perfect fit glove
for you, measure your dominant hand with a
tape measure around the knuckles in inches
(your left if left handed and right if you are
right handed). The size that you measure in
inches, is your glove size, so if you measure
9 inches, you will need a medium glove.
Please remember that if the gloves are too
tight on your hands they may make your
hands feel cold, so if in doubt go up a size!
