Sealskinz performance accessories

Sealskinz is a heritage British brand globally recognized for its pioneering waterproof, windproof, and breathable accessories. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in King's Lynn, Norfolk, the company initially gained fame for its patented three-layer waterproof socks, which became an essential gear item for the UK military, professional athletes, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Under the ownership of Ray Kelvin, the founder of Ted Baker who acquired the brand in late 2022, Sealskinz has transitioned from a specialized accessory manufacturer into a lifestyle outdoor brand. This evolution included the launch of the 'Vitae' collection, which introduces high-performance apparel alongside their core range of hats, gloves, and socks. The brand emphasizes extreme durability and quality, famously hand-testing every single waterproof product at their UK base to provide a lifetime guarantee.

While the brand maintains deep roots in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing is distributed to leverage global technical expertise. Waterproof socks and specific high-performance gloves are still handcrafted in King's Lynn, England. Other items in their catalog are produced in specialized facilities in Bulgaria, Portugal, Turkey, and China, depending on the specific material requirements and technology used for each product line.
