Technology Explained

SealSkinz socks use patented technology to guarantee that they are fully waterproof and breathable.

The multipurpose design ensures that in cold and wet conditions, the waterproof technology in SealSkinz socks keeps your feet dry and warm while in warm weather the sweat is wicked away from the skin through the breathable membrane layer keeping the feet fresh.

SealSkinz socks keep your feet totally dry whatever the conditions and they also help to reduce blisters as the triple layer technology prevents your foot from rubbing against the shoe therefore reducing friction.

The innovative technology from SealSkinz innovative is based around a three layer construction, an outer layer, a waterproof, breathable membrane and an inner layer. 

The waterproof technology uses a waterproof membrane to keep the feet dry and comfortable.

The highly breathable mebrane reduces sweat by allowing moisture to escape through the inner layer to the outer layer.

The Middle Layer

This membrane allows perspiration to escape while preventing any water coming in, it has a breathability of more than 65% Water Vapour Permeable and in waterproof tests it exceeded 300cms hydrostatic head which is 3 times the level that is required to meet the European standards for waterproof clothing.
