Hello, I was notified of this thread by Google Alerts and read with interest the comments and views of our "failed socks". Can I be clear and say from the start I work for SealSkinz and am increasingly aware of the use of our socks by the Muslim community.

Our socks are not designed to be worn everyday for 18 months! If they are then obviously they will show signs of wear and tear! Ironing or hot washing the socks will affect the membrane within the socks that give them the breathable and waterproof properties and lead to failure.

We often get asked:
Are they fully waterproof - yes, every single sock is tested
Do they contain animal or Seal Skin - No! its all man made fibre and merino wool.

If anyone has technical questions they want answering I'm happy to inform, or my South African Muslim distributor would be willing to converse too.

James
