Introduction:
It has been over a year since we last tested the SealSkinz gloves and socks that
provided 100% waterproof protection while we fished. For 2004 SealSkinz
introduces a new glove and sock that will satisfy your needs even more by
providing the same waterproof protection with the some additional warmth for your hands and feet
on those freezing days while fishing. Join us and take a sneak peek at a
new Danalco products due out this Fall.

The ChillBlocker gloves keep your
hands dry and warm even in ice cold waters
Impressions: Comfortable and useful waterproof fishing
gloves are hard to come by until we found out about the SealSkinz products a few
years ago. SealSkinz, a Danalco company, manufacturers 100% waterproof
apparel used for many outdoor activities such as boating, skiing, fishing,
mountain biking, trekking, and much more. For 2004 SealSkinz releases a
new waterproof glove with an added interior layer to help keep your hands warm on those
even colder days. The ChillBlocker gloves are similar to the old design
but are insulated with Polartec Power Stretch fleece materials that are extremely
lightweight and warm. An initial quick test done in the high countries of
Yosemite proved this new design to be even better than
the old pair.

SealSkinz's fleece lined socks
keeps your feet and toes warm even when fully submerged in cold water(Note:
ChillBlocker socks are not cuffed, thus in this model water will leak in from
the top.)
Also new for 2004: While the ChillBlocker
gloves will keep your hands and fingers warm and comfortable, why not have socks
that will do the same. Having wet feet in icy conditions can put a quick
end to any fishing trip. Along the new models of ChillBlockers, SealSkinz will soon
introduce these improved fleece lined socks which are also 100% waterproof.
Conclusion: Mid-year has arrived
and we find ourselves just a week and a half away from ICAST, the largest
industry only fishing show. Danaclo is getting the jump on the new year by
bringing out improved products that will be appearing on store shelves shortly. New from SealSkinz
this year are the ChillBlocker gloves and socks
all lined with a high-tech fleece material that will keep your hands
and feet warm while still providing 100%
waterproof protection. Stay tuned for our upcoming reviews on the ChillBlocker
gloves and socks as this new and exciting apparel will make our cold fishing days
more enjoyable.
