Latest Product from Sealskinz

Sealskinz socks have a unique seamless three-layer construction that works together to keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable. The inner lining wicks moisture away from your skin and is made from either Coolmax, or in the case of the newly introduced Walking Sock £28, Merino wool for warmth and comfort. The waterproof, breathable membrane that makes up the mid layer typically has a breathability greater than 65% WVP. The outer layer is designed for extra durability and abrasion resistance with stretch properties to ensure a good fit. There are approximately 10 models in the Sealskinz sock range, each aimed at a different end-use.
Sealskinz Walking Sock with elasticated arch and ankle support
The Walking Sock is new to the range. Its mid-calf length makes it ideal for wearing with hiking boots and features an elasticated arch and ankle support to give a closer fit and reduce movement inside your footwear. It’s been a great success this winter and we’ll continue to sell it throughout the year- though regular customers should note that by Autumn 2010 it will have undergone a name change to “Activity Sock”, though the product itself will be unchanged. We’ll keep you posted nearer the time. With the name Sealskinz, almost synonymous with waterproof socks the other feature to note is that they are a truly British success story- manufactured in Norfolk.
These products are currently highlighted in our Peebles branch window displays where they will be on view until 26th march 2010. Prices and data may not be accurate after this time and inclusion on this blog entry does not indicate availability. Please contact our Peebles store directly before travelling in anticipation of a purchase.

25 years on...still going strong

In November 1992 we were working hard to get our shop in Peebles opened. We were living in a draughty old shepherd's cottage in the Moorfoot Hills at the time and one day, our landlady remarked that there was a famous mountaineer coming to give a fundraising talk in aid of the village hall. It seemed unlikely but yes, Chris Bonington was coming to Carrington. It proved to be a memorable evening that people still occasionally mention to us today. Standing room only with an eclectic audience of school children, Women's Institute stalwarts, elders of the kirk and a smattering of outdoor enthusiasts. It probably wasn't the kind of gathering Bonington was used to speaking to but his professionalism and communication skills ensured that his stories came alive for everyone in the room. At the end of the presentation we joined the scrum of autograph hunters and got his signature on a poster which we hung in our new shop on the day it opened. It stayed on the wall for quite a few...
