“I suffer from Venus stasis, a condition of varicose veins in which blood pools in the lower extremities without returning to the heart, thereby inducing clots and ulcer wounds which can take months to heal. Treatment involves four layer compression wraps changed weekly which must be kept dry at all times, including during bathing and bad weather. I use cast-and -bandage-protectors to keep my legs dry while showering (coincidentally branded SealTight) but they are cumbersome and ineffective while swimming, thus preventing my favorite summertime activities. And new ulcers appear with confounding irregularity, sometimes opening up within months of old ones being healed. Other times I might go 18 months without one. But they always come back. I thought SealSkinz was the answer to my prayer! They were guaranteed waterproof with no caveats or disclaimers. Nothing said I couldn’t shower or swim in them. I figured they’d tell me if that could be a problem. I was so glad the technology had advanced so far that the chance of leaking had been overcome! My order arrived promptly, the day after my latest leg wrap and the day before we were to leave to visit our son in NY. He loves Coney Island and was sad we couldn’t go there to the beach. Aha, I thought, now with my new SealSkinz I WILL be able to go swimming. But just to make sure, I tried them out in the shower. I wore both though only my right leg had a wrap. They seemed ok at first but by the time I finished they were both full of water. I mean FULL! Way more than had ever leaked into a bandage protector. It was too late to go back to the wound clinic to be rewrapped and I couldn’t do it myself and I was leaving first thing in the morning. So I dried it out the best I could and put up with a damp, draining, irritated wound all weekend. When I went back to the wound clinic upon my return, the doctor gave me one of those looks and said, we both knew it wouldn’t work, didn’t we? Well, no. I thought it would. Because the manufacturer didn’t tell me that it wouldn’t. Maybe there’s a time limit or a maximum depth of water that shouldn’t be exceeded. Maybe there are extra precautions that should be taken, or sealant or taping at the top to prevent overflow. Maybe. But the maker gave no warning. And I suffered the consequences. I know this is not a “short” review, and I am sorry it’s a negative one. I truly wanted these to be the solution. I have some other leg protectors made of neoprene which I pump the air out of to create a vacuum. But they are not foolproof either, and they’re embarrassing to wear because they’re so bulky and unsightly. I hope my comments help improve this product, or the directions if I did it wrong. But if there is no remedy, I will want my money back.”

Thank you for your review. Our Waterproof socks contain a membrane inside which extends up the sock to the cuff- this means that the sock functions in the same manner as a wellington boot, waterproof to the cuff but with a regular opening for the legs and feet to be placed inside. The membrane inside will prevent water from passing through the outer layer of the socks and into the inside layer, however, they will not be able to prevent water from running inside the socks through the leg opening. The cuffs of the socks function as a regular sock would and whilst they do offer a close fit to the legs, they cannot provide a vacuum or a watertight seal. If the socks are immersed in water above the cuff, it will run down inside the socks through the leg opening and fill them up. Once inside the membrane will hold the water until it is emptied out. Unfortunately, our socks are not suitable for swimming or any activities where the socks will be fully submerged under water. If a watertight seal is required, we would recommend looking towards products such as cast covers which can offer a complete seal against the skin and will keep any limb contained inside dry and protected. If you require any further help or assistance, please contact the Sealskinz Consumer team via email at help@sealskinz.com

“Great quality product, purchased size 9 - 11 cycling overshoes. I could just get them on my size 9 feet. Impossible with shoes. They seemed to be more a size 5. So possibly miss labelled, but no explanation from Sealskinz. Very speedy refund.”

Thank you for your review. Our Overshoes are available in two types- Open Sole which allows them to be worn with bulkier shoes and footwear types and Closed Sole which is suitable for slim-fit Road Cycling shoes. The final fit of the Overshoes can be affected by the shoe type as larger shoes, bulkier soles and shoes with features such as large straps and buckles can mean that a larger Overshoe may be required to accommodate the extra width and height of the shoe. We are pleased to hear that your return and refund have been processed quickly for you- please do contact our Consumer team directly via email at help@sealskinz.com if you require any further help

“The fingers are far too short. The join where the gloves fingers meet are at the level of my first knuckle. I have other gloves that I bought off the shelf that fit perfectly. I measured the width of my hand before I ordered the Sealskinz gloves and I was hoping that they would be warmer than the gloves I already have. But the fit of the fingers is so bad that I don't wear them.”

“Your cyclist overshoe was not even close to the proper size to be worn over my shoes; in fact it was a snug fit on my foot without a shoe; also, who doesn’t provide a return bag and label when shipping products? Sealskinz won’t be getting business from me in the future.”

Thank you for your review, we are sorry to hear that the Overshoes were not a good fit for you. Our Overshoes are designed to fit according to your shoe size, however, the final fit can be determined by the shoes themselves as not all shoes will be of the same construction with some bulkier, wider and larger than others. We can see that the Sealskinz Consumer team has provided a free post label to allow you to return the Overshoes free of charge, however, please do let the team know if any further assistance is required.

“The socks are not waterproof. I wore them in paddling boots in an outrigger canoe and the socks, as well as my feet, were as wet as they get when I just wear wool socks. My boots were originally completely waterproof and now they just have a slow leak and I thought I would try your socks rather than buy new boots, but it seems I just need to get new boots. For the price they were a disappointment. If they had kept my feet dry, I would have recommended to all my paddling friends and I have many paddling friends.”

“I recently purchased a ladies bobble hat size S/M, after a few wears it was huge, I contacted customer service at Sealskinz for advice, would washing make it smaller ? Washing instructions were sent, but hat is still huge and useless in keeping me warm whilst walking my dog. Extremely disappointed in my purchase.”

“I needed a pair of their gloves to go out on exercise with and after put one of the gloves on the wrist strap simply came off with most of thr stitching. Paid a tidy ammount for a premium glove and that happens. It's my own fault for not returning them sooner but I literally had to move out the next morning after I revieved them and it's probably out of the returns policy period now so I've basically got one glove that doesn't fit right. Not what I was expecting at all, I should probably still try and see if I can get a refund in which case I might change the rating later but based on a first purchase. Incredibly poor manufacturing.”
