Fave sock: Bridgedale Lightweight Merino Performance Fit 

As an adventurer who is constantly pushing the limits, I demand socks that can keep pace with me in every season and terrain.

Bridgedale’s Lightweight Merino Performance Fit socks are an absolute game-changer. They defy nature by keeping my feet cool in summer and warm in winter. Their boot-length design seamlessly transitions from hiking boots to trail runners, ensuring versatility without sacrificing performance. The merino blend is a non-negotiable for me, and this Bridgedale sock nails the ratio perfectly. They’re comfortable, quick drying, and skin care is not compromised.

Moreover, these socks are like warriors, enduring every rugged journey with me, proving their strength and longevity time and time again. Bridgedale has truly mastered the art of crafting socks that support and enhance every adventure.

Fave sock: Bridgedale women’s MTB Mid-season T2 Merino Sport

Bridgedale socks are fantastic and their range covers all my main activities: hiking, running and mountain biking. I also choose them for paddling, kayaking and rafting as they keep my feet warm. They are snug, fit well and have excellent cushioning at heel and toe. I have been using them for many years and have never had blisters while wearing them. I love that I can get Bridgedale socks in different thicknesses depending on the season I am racing or training in.

Fave sock: Bridgedale MTB Midweight T2 Merino Sport

These socks have the right mix of merino for warmth and synthetic fibres for longevity. They have been my longest-lasting socks by miles. They are special cycling socks but I use them more for runs and hiking missions. And they’re versatile on long trips: I have a backup pair, and one day I loaned them to a friend as he’d forgotten his gloves. They really helped! Merino wool in socks is nothing new these days, and I have tried other brands with similar material blends, but none have lasted as long as Bridgedales. 

What sets Bridgedale apart?

Fit: The construction of every Bridgedale sock is the secret to the perfect fit that ensures socks feel like new after every wash.

Fusion Tech: A unique blend of yarn and knitting technology that sets Bridgedale apart from competitors.

Guarantee: A badge of confidence showing that socks have been designed, developed, tested and manufactured to be worthy of the Bridgedale name.
