Written by the company

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.

I ordered this for my autistic son.

I ordered this for my son, who is autistic, attends forest school. I panicked after ordering and emailed to cancel. Immediately I received a response saying the product had already been sent.
However, they also reassured me that they understand and I could easily send it back.
The product arrived so fast, and my son loves it. There is no need to send it back at all. Really fast, immediate customer service.

Excellent customer service

We found an issue with a battery on the Filby Gauntlets and rang Sealskinz and spoke to Louise who arranged for a replacement battery to be sent. The Gauntlets are amazing and backed up by first class customer service.

I had a simple question which the AI bot couldn't answer and it was quickly passed on to a real human being who answered very promptly despite it being over the Christmas break.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We do make use of an AI agent for busy periods and for when we are out of the office but always make sure customers can speak to a human agent if desired. We're glad this system worked for you when you needed it!

When my order did not arrive

When my order did not arrive, and I had no further tracking updates, I contacted the Help Desk. The response was immediate, even though AI. However, the follow up from Emily, customer service team, was prompt and they immediately addressed my concerns. My original shipment appeared lost and an offer of a refund or replacement was given. With their reputation for quality products and exceptional service I requested a replacement. Looking forward to getting my mittens!

Low quality products. Save your money.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with this company. I got their waterproof Gressenhall beanie. Their "trademarked waterproof technology" is, in practice, a non-breathable plastic insert (you can see a picture of it on my G maps review). Yes, you read that right, they literally just add a piece of plastic between the tissue and call this "waterproof technology". This design flaw leads to trapped moisture in your scalp and the associated risks.

Furthermore, I found the "return" process highly questionable. Being asked to destroy the item to avoid shipping costs suggests the product has a negligible manufacturing value (whilst they resell it very expensively).

This is a low-quality product. Save your money.

EDIT response to their message: as you invited me to destroy the item, you can clearly see that the "membrane" is indeed just a mere plastic film. You can see it clearly on my G maps review.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are very sorry for your disappointing experience with the Gressenhall beanie.

Please note, our Support Team will only ever ask that a product be destroyed if there is a fault with the item or if the product is used and we are making a goodwill exception, as we cannot accept returns of used goods.

Additionally, our waterproof technology may sound like a plastic insert when putting the beanie on, however we can assure you this is a waterproof membrane which does allow for breathability. It is designed to allow for perspiration to pass through whilst keeping water from getting in.

We apologise again for any discomfort or disappointment with the beanie. We are happy to assist if you would like to discuss our products or policies further with our team.

Kind regards,
Krystal @ Sealskinz

Easy and Efficient Exhange

I’ve had great customer service from Sealskinz on two occasions now where we’ve needed to change the size of gloves ordered. Exchange process is super efficient and gives me all the confidence that I would need to buy from Sealskinz in future.

Problem was remedied quickly

There was a problem with my address-we have to have a PO Box. The delivery could not be made here so was returned. I provided a different address and the items were delivered before Christmas. The company was very responsive to emails which was appreciated.

Excellent customer service during a holiday

I reached out to Sealskinz when my gift was not delivered. It was just before Christmas and I was not expecting a response until after the holiday. But they reached out to me immediately, checked on the delivery, provided photos, and realized the item was delivered by the local carrier to the incorrect address. Although my gift was not delivered, I appreciated the excellent customer service during a holiday and received a prompt refund.
