Review from a member of a North Georgia Adventure Race Team:
I wanted to thank you again for your support by providing my team with SealSkinz gear. Ufortunately the gloves were backordered but
the socks were invaluable. I worn them the entire race.
The started with a paddling section and I wore with my boat shoes which basicically is like wearing the socks exposed to the elements. For four hours my feet were in the water in the bottom of the boat or completely submerged when putting the boat in the and taking it out. I usually change socks after a paddle section but my feet felt dry and comfortable and I thought why change. I switch to my mountain biking shoes and started off on a 40 mile offroad trip in the rain. My feet never felt wet or cold even on long downhills where the wind usually makes my toes numb. Before heading off on the trek I decided to change out to another pair of
SealSkinz socks. When I removed the pair I had been wearing for the last 12 hours I was pleasently surprized that my feet were in great condition.
Usually after that kind of wet exposure my feet look like prunes and are suseptable to blistering because they are so soft from being wet. Not the
case here. Those socks were terriffic. I can't thank you enough for providing them.

Cheers, Mark

This review is from a soldier who has used these socks oversees:

I was the 10th Mountain Division CSM during the division deployment to
Bosnia. We were shipped a group of your socks and asked to share them with
the soldiers. We sent them out throughout the division. The comments that
I received were all favorable. Soldiers stated that they were excellent
and made a difference when pulling guard duty and patrols while in cold,
wet conditions. Soldiers stated that during long hours in leather boots
that the SealSkinz socks protected their feet from the cold and moisture.
I was highly satisfied with the ones that I wore and still continue to
wear today. Thanks for your great support to soldiers.

Very nice setup. Easy to use. I just need to get better at walking the line. Thanx Sean and Jesse.

I have used mine anywhere from 50+' to less than 20'. Very user friendly and adjustable.

Big enough to hold my 50M just right...should hold a 60 fine too I would think. Fits in the bottom of my pack just great. Good choice for a first time bag owner. Colors vary...so you may not know what color you get when you order.
