"Necessity – the mother of invention." Sealskinz is a creation of necessity; it is about the need to be first out and last in, the need to defy the outdoors, the need to defy the cold and the wet, the need to perform, the need to protect. This necessity created Sealskinz, the first laminated sock. Keeping wet out and warmth in, Sealskinz's three-layer patented sock broke the mould. Hats and gloves followed using the same technology.
