SealSkinz Waterproof Breathable Football Sock
The most interesting and eye catching innovation in technical sports wear is making its introduction to North America this season.
The Waterproof Football Sock does just as the name implies – it is completely waterproof and highly breathable so that your feet will stay dry in the wet weather; warm in the cold weather; and cool in the heat. The inner Coolmax layer wicks sweat off the skin to keep feet dry, which makes it more difficult for blisters to form.
The waterproof football sock has been developed by Michael Shuster, director of Game 6 Limited, and SealSkinz, manufacturer of the world’s only close-fitting, waterproof socks. Both companies are located in the UK. It has a waterproof / breathable foot portion, which consists of a three layer construction, and an elasticated upper which fits up the leg either with or without shin pads. Waterproof Football Socks are for football, rugby, hockey and other outdoor team sports.
“Getting wet feet when playing sports is nothing new and hardened participants will say that it is part of the game; to just get on with it. But if your feet are uncomfortable from being wet, if they hurt from playing on hard surfaces or from blisters, you’re not going to enjoy yourself very much.
Which kind of takes away the reason why you’re playing in the first place. While we cannot promise that wearing waterproof football socks will make you play better, your feet will be more comfortable, you can forget about your feet and just concentrate on playing your game” says Shuster.
The core technology developed by SealSkinz has been around for a number of years and the company also manufactures a range of waterproof / breathable socks, gloves and hats which are used in a number of outdoor pursuits including horse riding, fell running, cycling, hiking, mountain biking and motorcycling. They are also favoured by extreme weather rescue teams and by the military.
