Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the company's products, highlighting their quality and effectiveness, especially for protection in various weather conditions. Many consumers are particularly impressed with the excellent customer service, noting the helpfulness, professionalism, and efficiency of the support team. The quick response times and seamless resolution of issues are frequently mentioned as key strengths. However, some customers have experienced issues with product durability, such as items shrinking, developing holes, or seams coming apart after a short period. A few people also noted that certain products, like hats, can lose their shape or that the "waterproof technology" in some items felt like a simple plastic insert, leading to trapped moisture. Additionally, a small number of reviewers felt that some products did not provide the expected warmth in cold conditions.

Incredible waterproof accessories. Welcome to Sealskinz. Our passion (some might say obsession actually) is to craft the finest waterproof accessories in the world. And while waterproof will always be our #1, we also want to keep you protected from snow, sand, mud, dirt and anything else that can get in the way of doing your thing in the outdoors. Because to so many, accessories are an afterthought. But to us at Sealskinz, they’re everything. And the best part? They work really, really well. We believe that no matter what’s going on around you, you can stay dry, protected, warm, and cosy by paying a little attention to what you put on your hands, feet, and head. Using innovative technology, premium materials, and a close attention to detail, we are confident that our socks, gloves, and hats will keep you dry, blister free, and comfortable. Any weather, any activity Sealskinz accessories have been to the top of Everest, braved the snowy winds of Antarctica, stayed dry on wilderness rafting trips in Alaska, and are trusted by the UK military. However, they’re equally incredible at keeping you comfortable while walking your furry friend, rushing on a brisk morning school run, or even watching an exhilarating children's football game (sarcasm intended). To say they’re up for any weather challenge is kind of an understatement.

Hello Mitchy,

We're very sorry to hear of your frustration. Unfortunately it appears you may have us mistaken for another company as we do not sell boat covers.

We would encourage you to move this review to the correct company for further assistance. You are likely looking for Sealskin Covers.

Excellent customer service.

I had an issue with a pair of socks I ordered, which unfortunately caused discomfort when worn for longer periods. I contacted customer support and they responded quickly, explained the reason clearly, and resolved the issue without any hassle.

They offered a suitable replacement free of charge and were professional, helpful, and efficient throughout. Really impressed with how swiftly the problem was handled and with the level of customer care shown. I’ve purchased from them before with no issues and would happily do so again.

Massive quality reduction in brand

I've been a user of the brand since they first came out over 20 years ago, fantastic socks for keeping your feet dry during running. Unfortunately over the last few years the quality control has waned dramatically, to the point where the socks wore through after a single run. I've flagged this to customer support, but all they could do was send me a replacement pair instead of an active engagement in why the product no longer works. I just can't recommend this brand anymore after years of plugging it to all my running friends. Lost a lifetime customer.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for completing a review and for sharing your honest feedback. We're very sorry to hear of any disappointment with how your concerns were received.

We want to assure you, our materials and construction of the socks have not changed significantly for many, many iterations of the product. In the last 10 years the only significant change has been improved shaping for a better fit.

When you contacted us, our team asked the necessary questions to determine the cause and provide a goodwill replacement for the pair that wore through in a single run, which you accepted. However, we can understand your disappointment and we’re more than happy to look into this further.

If you’re willing, we’d be glad to have the socks sent in for inspection, at no cost to you, so our team can review the issue in further detail.

We truly appreciate your long‑term support and would welcome the chance to investigate further.

Kind regards,
Krystal @ Sealskinz

Great company

Great company! I ordered the Arminghall knit hat. It exceeded my expectations for quality and features but unfortunately the XXL size was a bit too tight. I got a free return shipping label easily. I had a question about how to attach the customs declaration. I got an immediate response from an AI agent which did not answer my question, but it did refer me to receive a detailed answer from a human at the first opening of business.

Superb heated gloves & Customer service!

Fabulous service from these wonderful team at Sealskinz.
I bought heated gloves several years ago and needed to replace the batters charger. It is no longer in stock anywhere, but the team managed to find one & ship it out to me. So helpful, and a pleasure to deal with. The gloves are still going strong after 4 years of winter wear, and if I hadn't lost the charger whilst moving house I guess that would have been fine too!

A reliable and accountable brand

I love the outdoors and I am always trying to seek out the best quality gear that is waterproof, durable and stylish. I believe Seal Skinz is one of the select few brands that truly meets these requirements.
I have a variety of Seal Skinz products ranging from running gear, headwear and hiking jackets. All of the kit is of a high quality and no matter what the British weather throws at it I always remain dry and warm.
In addition the customer service at Seal Skinz is faultless and incredibly responsive. Any time I have contacted Seal Skinz regarding an issue with an order they always take it seriously, responding within 24 hours with a personalised message and solution to my problem.
I highly recommend Seal Skinz to anyone looking for reliable outdoors gear.

I recently lost my left glove to my precious atmer gloves that I basically live in during the fall winter and spring. It was the 3rd pair I have owned in like 5+ years. (Not because the quality is bad by any means they are actually super durable.. its actually because I tend to lose them. Lol) I commute by bicycle year round. And 1 always seems fall out of my pocket at some point. So they did change the design on the gloves a year or 2 ago and the new version don't fit my hands. (I purchased the large and xl to check fit. They didnt fit my hands) So I contacted them about getting ahold of some past year models and they got me hooked up and said just donate the 2 pairs I purchased to people in need. Which where 2 other people I know who commute by bike all year. They love them, they get used all season. And thats in Michigan. This company kicks ass! Not only is thier quality awesome, but thier costumer service is the best I've ever had. I also use thier waterproof socks they have. And they are also legit! Your shoes could be pooled with water and you feet stay dry and warm, they can feel a little slippery with socks in but with out socks your feet can get pretty cold. Anyway I support Sealskinz 100% and will always recommend them when people asked about waterproof items and accessories.

Sealskins waterproof socks are brilliant - absolutely 100% waterproof. So I was a bit disappointed when one developed a hole after two and a half years.
