Description

What is the Sealskinz Bircham suitable for?

The Bircham is an ankle-length, waterproof sock for anyone who is out and about all year round in any weather – hiking, cycling, commuting or on the trail.

Dry feet, no matter what: The three-layer Aquasealz™ construction keeps out rain, mud, and moisture while allowing perspiration to escape (manufacturer's information). This keeps feet dry and comfortable even during extended use.

Warmth that feels natural: The merino lining lies softly against the skin, warms in cold weather, and regulates temperature during activity – while naturally inhibiting odor formation. Even after long hikes, the Bircham barely smells.

No chafing, no slipping: The seamless construction and zonal elastic support create no pressure points – important for long distances in barefoot shoes.

An addition for barefoot shoes: Barefoot shoes rarely offer their own protection against moisture. The Bircham makes your barefoot shoes suitable for year-round use – even in rain and mud.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the waterproofing work?

A sewn-in Aquasealz™ membrane between the outer and inner materials keeps moisture out (manufacturer's information). The sock itself stays dry – the shoe around it does not.

How do I choose the right size?

S = 36–38, M = 39–42, L = 43–46, XL = 47–49. If in doubt, choose one size larger, as waterproof socks are thicker than regular socks.

Is it suitable for multiple seasons?

Yes. The merino lining provides warmth in cold weather and regulates temperature in warm weather – the Bircham is suitable from spring to winter.

Is it also suitable for sports and intensive activity?

Yes. The Bircham was originally developed for the British military – it remains reliably leak-proof even during intense movement.

Material & Construction
  • Outer material:62% Polykolon, 29% Nylon, 9% Elastane – robust, 4-way stretch
  • Membrane:Aquasealz™ – waterproof, breathable intermediate layer (manufacturer's information)
  • Inner material:36% Merino wool, 36% acrylic, 18% polyester, 5% nylon, 5% elastane

According to the manufacturer, the Aquasealz™ membrane (Sealskinz) is completely waterproof and windproof while simultaneously wicking away perspiration. The merino lining is soft against the skin, regulates temperature, and naturally inhibits odor formation – making the Bircham suitable for year-round use.

Care & Cleaning

Cleaning:Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, do not dry clean, do not iron.

Drying:Do not tumble dry. Air dry.

A notice:Do not use fabric softener – this can impair the membrane function.
