What’s Sealsinz Vitae assortment?

Sealskinz was purchased by Ted Baker founder, Ray Kelvin, in November final 12 months. This has led to some new so known as “adventure-ready” merchandise, to enhance the model’s vary of technical and waterproof equipment. See Vitae assortment. The clothes seems informal and seashore type in my view, reasonably thna full-on outdoorsy. The hats seemed like essentially the most helpful merchandise for my functions so I known as in a few pattern gadgets.

I lack a good hat for moist and sunny climate. I often put on a buff to maintain my hair from flying round my face however a hat, espscially one with a peak, is helpful for lowering rain on my face and specs. I’ve been testing the Scole and Lynford. There’s additionally a hat known as the Salle within the assortment.

Sealskinz ladies’s Scole

Sealskinz has taken a basic five-panelled cap design and mixed it with their three-layer Aquasealz™ development utilized in all their most sturdy waterproof merchandise. They added a water-proof zipped pocket and comfortable nylon cloth.

• Colors: Mint / Blue / Cream, Pink, Mint
• Value: £35

The cap is offered in a single measurement for girls (there’s a males’s model) and I would like it on the smallest adjustment setting to make it match. Even then, I wore a buff beneath to provide a safe match. As soon as on, it stayed neatly in place and presents nice protection from the height over the face.

The again adjuster is nice with a large elastic strap and strong plastic clip.

The height is stiff and barely curved and does an ideal job of conserving the rain off my face and specs.

It’s not the lightest of caps – the material is sturdy and there’s a mesh liner – and so I will likely be reserving it for moist climate, reasonably than sizzling climate.

It has been nice in moist climate. The material doesn’t moist out like different caps I’ve used.

I’m not certain what I’d hold within the zipped pocket. It wouldn’t be something important as a result of I’d be apprehensive concerning the hat flying off within the wind. Possibly it will be good for an emergency gel or one thing?

The ice-cream pastel colors received’t be everybody’s alternative however I fairly just like the muliti-coloured colourway that I’ve been testing.

Sealskinz ladies’s Lynford

The Lynford is a canvas bucket hat, fitted with Sealskinz’ three-layer Aquasealz™ development. It additionally has a button closure pocket.

• Colors: Pink & Inexperienced / Pink / Blue & Pink
• Value: £40

Once more, the hat may be very roomy. I don’t assume I’ve a very small head however the hat does drown my head a bit. (There’s a males’s model.) If I put on it with a buff it’s wonderful.

It’s a helpful hat for sunny and moist climate, though it’s made from pretty thick canvas and that makes it sizzling in very sunny situations.

Once more, I’ll be reserving this for moist climate when spending time within the hills or in a kayak, or for gardening.

The brim is satisfactory, though not ultimate for conserving the rain off my specs. I desire the cap model to be sincere.
