Introduction to Bridgedale

Bridgedale is a leading manufacturer of performance socks designed for various outdoor activities. Based in the UK, Bridgedale has over 30 years of experience making high quality socks from natural fabrics like merino wool and bamboo that provide warmth, wicking, and durability.

Their sock collections are designed for specific activities and needs including hiking, trail running, trekking, mountaineering, skiing, snowboarding, hunting and more. Within each collection, there are different cushioning levels, heights, and specialised features engineered to excel during high performance use.

Bridgedale Wool Hiking Socks

Bridgedale's wool hiking socks provide the warmth, moisture management and comfort needed when carrying a backpack through demanding mountain terrain. They utilise lightweight merino wool blended with nylon and elastic for just the right balance of temperature regulation, wicking, breathability and stretch support in the cuff.

The Peak Performance is their warmest light-medium cushion hiking sock. It features high merino wool content for comfort and heat retention as well as mesh zones across the top of the foot to manage moisture build up. The low friction toes and heels maximise durability.

For those seeking a lightweight, highly breathable sock for hiking in warmer weather, the CoolFusion is the top choice. It has strategically placed mesh zones for ventilation and moisture control made from Coolmax fabric that increases airflow. The padded zones at the heel and toe box protect those high impact areas.

Bridgedale Merino Hiking Socks

Crafted from ultra soft merino wool, Bridgedale's merino wool hiking sock collection delivers exemplary next-to-skin comfort and moisture management mile after mile. The wool wicks moisture while insulating the foot, keeping it drier and regulating temperature in dynamic conditions. Dense cushioning at pressure points protects the feet from the pounding impact of covering uneven trails with a heavy load.

The Endurance is their cushioned merino hiking crew sock. It combines high merino content for insulation and moisture wicking with comfortable cushioning zones at the shin, heel and forefoot. The merino wool keeps feet drier and reduces odour build up compared to synthetic fibres.

For more breathable, warmer weather hiking, the Coolmax Trekker is an excellent choice. Coolmax fabric and lightweight cushioning control moisture and friction while mesh zones provide airflow to prevent overheating. Targeted padding relieves pressure points along the heel, toes and metatarsal arch.

Bridgedale Padded Hiking Socks

Bridgedale padded hiking socks deliver plush underfoot cushioning and shock absorption for protecting high impact zones of the feet. They utilise dense memory foam inserts and padding matched to key pressure points that bear the brunt force when carrying loads over uneven or hard surfaces.

The Endurance Trekker features different levels of padded zones - 20% Medium cushioning, 40% Light cushioning and focused Heavy rib cushioning at the shin, heels and toes that absorb repeated impact. The merino wool blend regulates temperature and transports moisture away.

For hiking in summer temps, the CoolFusion Trekker is constructed with cooling mesh zones combined with padded zones on the vulnerable areas. It has ventilated Coolmax fabric to increase breathability and airflow where feet tend to get hot, along with durable toe caps. The Memory Foam clusters absorb shock with every step.

Bridgedale Trail Running Socks

Purpose-built for off-road running, Bridgedale’s trail socks deliver essential impact protection, grip and breathability.
