The SealSkinz range of products, from what Ive seen, are an absolutely perfect
range of products for anglers! I have been fortunate enough to test the gloves
and socks and, like anything tested on Anglers Net, they were used in real
circumstances in order to see if they were up to the job.
As you can see from the pictures here, I wanted to know if the SealSkinz gloves
were really waterproof, rather than just damp-proof! Im pleased to say that
they passed the extremely scientific sticking your hand in the sea test with
flying colours. The water stayed on the outside, where it should be!
So, we know theyre waterproof, but how good are they as normal gloves? Well,
the Thermolite lining provides adequate warmth for most situations, although
SealSkinz do recommend the use of their thermal liner for really cold
conditions.
What  I really like about the SealSkinz gloves is that they are thin and dont
hinder you when going about your usual activities. The outer glove is a nylon
and lycra affair, meaning that they fit snugly. Also, the grip bubbles on
them make the SealSkinz a really useful pair of gloves.
The SealSkinz socks share the same technology and will be a great asset to many
anglers. I often like to wear trainers when fishing, as the offer both comfort
and grip. However, Ive been caught out a few times by rain in the past and the
SealSkinz socks will now ensure that Ill stay dry&even if my shoes dont!
SealSkinz gloves are available online for £22.49 and the socks range between
£19.99 and £29.99. Check out the SealSkinz site for more details -
