freeclimb9 Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I just got back from the Interbike convention, and saw a great product with obvious applications for climbing: SealSkinz. They're woven gloves and socks with a blown urethane bladder that's windproof, waterproof and breathable. Because they're woven, there are no seams and they have a comfortable texture inside and out. Because the urethane is blown, there's no seams on the sandwiched barrier, and the stuff is stretchable (not things that GoreTex can do at all). I'm usually unimpressed with new items, but this one blew me away. They're currently used by the military, too. http://www.danalco.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 so, what specifically do you see as the climbing applications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambone Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 sounds cool, how warm are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 BTW- might be better to post this kind of good info in the "gear critic" forum so it doesn't get lost in spray. then again I'm sure trask will chim in about blowing urathane!
