SealSkinz has been announced as the newest sponsor of the 2013 Volvo National Golf Club Challenge, the UK's biggest charity golf event.
The company, which makes a range of waterproof and breathable socks, hats and gloves, will supply product to the national finalists, as well as donating socks, mittens and beanies to the NGCC's auction website.
