The outlet at sealskins are selling off a lot of their gloves for £12.00 a go, worth a look I think.

    Are they real sealskin?

    No thats just the name of the company. The products are made from nylon, polyester etc.

    Cool - thank you. I thought it was obscene and sick that real seal skin products were being sold off so cheap - after all, seal skin is a premium product that should fetch a premium luxury price.

    When we were down in the Falklands we kidnapped a load of penguins and, upon return to the UK, sold them to a local Premiership footballer's WAG as mobile ornaments.

    Really? How disappointing. And there was me going to buy a pair......

    I clearly was sold their socks under false pretences.

    I've just got two pairs of socks for less than the price of one Paisley. Bargainissimo.

    I gave them a quick call and asked if they Army discount - the lovely lady who spoke to me said that officially no, but ...... However, further discounts not applicable to massively discounted stuff.

    Still better than Planet X who offer no discount at all ...... Boo hiss Planet X, get it sorted.

    If the extra 10% off works though then chapeau - very well done.

    Ordered a pair of the £35 socks for £12; they've got 12 five stars out of 12 reviews, so I think they could well work, and after today's soaking I'm looking forward to trying them out. Thanks OP!

    Cheers,just ordered a pair of gloves.
  • SoSimpleSoSimple Posts: 301
    Cheers too...just ordered...erm...more than one pair!
  • shmoostershmooster Posts: 335
    Nice one, just ordered a £45 pair for £12 minus the 10% discount.
  • redbikejohnredbikejohn Posts: 160
    nice one. wasn't too sure on sizes so held off for a bit. went to go outdoors to pick up some socks for my sister and tried on the sealskin gloves in store :) although their size guide says i should take a Large its too tight, the XL is fine. just order three gloves and some socks. no extended warranty but i suppose we are still covered by uk distance selling rules and one year warranty (statutory uk)
    oh yes i also got the 10% off too :)

    I got the XL lobsters and they fit my slim hands fine! In contrast, I followed their size guide for some socks and they are really one size too large!! Close enough though.....

    How do you find them when changing gear? I tried a pair of Specialized ones in store and they were really warm, I just chose not to buy them because I imagine changing gear being pretty tricky. I prefer my gloves with as little padding etc as possible, so winter gloves are always tricky.
  • ravenvriderravenvrider Posts: 198
    I bought a pair 4 weeks ago and yes it's painful to see them discounted now but was concerned about changing gear myself, surprisingly though I have had no problems either on road or mtb it is a bit weird to start with but you get used to it....and frankly changing gear with warm fingers in lobsters is a dam site better than cold hands.

    My socks have just turned up - very nice indeed. Not £37.99 a pair nice but very nice for £12 a pair.

    Bizarrely looking forward to Brecon in January to test them out ........

    The only cycling gloves left are for odd sized people and women, however they do have ski gloves and MrsHD likes to have warm hands...
