Hiking & Backpacking

100% Waterproof boot length sock with an un-cushioned fine knit merino inner. This close-fitting sock is ideal for activities where maximum breathability and minimal insulation are desired. Comprising 3 layers the lightweight boot length StormSock features a thin un-cushioned lining that wicks moisture away from your feet.… Primarily knit from Merino Wool, known for its anti-bacterial, anti-odour and moisture management properties, the sock will keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable. The outer layer sock, made from nylon, protects the Hydrotech waterproof breathable membrane against abrasion from the boot. Lycra knit through every course gives the sock Bridgedale’s performance fit and together with the flat toe seam and elastic arch support ensure the sock remains in place and doesn’t cause any hotspots. The stretch PU membrane and clever matrix lamination process that bonds the three layers of Bridgedale’s Stormsock together ensure they have class leading stretch built right in, wear after wear. Bridgedale’s best-selling length, our boot length comfortably sits above the ankle cuff of standard walking boots. Covering the leg up to the mid-calf our boot length can be easily be protected from water ingress with waterproof trousers or gaiters. SPECIFICATIONS: Outer : 95% Nylon, 5% Elastane Inner : 45% Merino, 45% Polyester, 7.5% Nylon, 2.5% Elastane

A new addition to the Light Hiker collection is the 1/4 Sock. Modest enough for a Victorian aristocrat, and equally familiar with expansive views, these ankle-covering socks offer a smooth cuff, comfortable fit, and lightweight functionality that truly endures. Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life.

Hiking doesn't always mean epic plans or ultra-technical gear. Sometimes it just involves a day pack, a cup of coffee and cute little forest friends to cheer you along as you stroll in the great outdoors (or indoors, we're not judging). These cozy, fun, micro crew hiking socks have just the right amount of cushioning for long-haul comfort but are built with everyday play in mind.
