The SealSkinz® brand as we know it today began with the discovery of John Logie Baird’s (inventor of the TV) research into the development of  a double layered sock which took moisture away from his feet and solved his severe circulation problems.
SealSkinz® have used the very latest technology and cutting edge products and materials to develop this original idea to help thousands of other outdoor enthusiasts to stay comfortable in the most extreme conditions and to get the most out of their chosen activity or sport.

Are you wondering what the change is? For starters the company has a new logo, but one thing will remain the same – the quality and performance of the products.

As well as offering the protection from the elements you’d associate with any Sealskinz product, the Halo Overshoe provides a different level of protection thanks to a rear heel-mounted 4-Lumen high powered LED. The LED has a flashing or constant setting that can be seen from over 500m. Powered by a CR2032 replaceable battery the light has up to 240 hour runtime from a single set of cells and ticks both practical and safety boxes for the winter rider.

Bellow is the test from the magazine; the text is finished with one simple sentence. “The Sealskinz mean chill-free hands all year round.”

ARE SEALSKINZ PRODUCTS MADE FROM SEALS?
No. Our brand name was created many years ago to demonstrate the best protection qualities of a seal – 100% waterproof. There is no other connection with seals but we do use other animal derived products like Merino wool and leather.

From the test in the Singletrack magazine:
“Hands down the most comfortable sock on test. The cut is great. The volume is spot on.”

“And the Merino lining, well frankly it is divine.”

“As expected the Sealskinz are highly waterproof. Unexpected was the lack of the Sealskin Crunch as we used to call it.”

Overall conclusion of the test rider Greg May: “For me, the dependable and merino lined Sealskinz win.”
