Sealskinz Waterproof Accessories

Sealskinz is a pioneering British heritage brand renowned for its invention of the original waterproof sock. Founded over 25 years ago in King's Lynn, Norfolk, the company revolutionized outdoor gear by developing a three-layer bonded 'stretchdry' technology that offers complete waterproof protection while remaining breathable. The brand's focus is on extreme endurance accessories, including socks, gloves, and hats designed for harsh environments.

Historically, the brand has maintained a strong manufacturing presence in the UK, where it hand-tests every single batch of waterproof products produced at its Norfolk facility. In 2022, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by the Pentland Group, a global family-owned business specializing in sports and outdoor brands. This acquisition integrated Sealskinz into a portfolio that includes other famous names like Speedo and Berghaus, providing the resources to expand its international distribution while maintaining its reputation for British engineering quality.
