Summer is just round the corner – we hope – and walkers heading for the hills and countryside need a good pair of socks to keep their feet cool and comfortable as the temperatures rise.
UK sock and accessory brand has a range that will keep feet happy on active holidays in warmer climes or long summer walks over various terrains.
Bridgedale’s performance socks are manufactured in their own UK factory and as leaders of sock innovation offer the latest in fibre technology and design to deliver day-long comfort across multiple outdoor activities.
The company, based in Newtonards near Belfast, has socks to suit walkers from those hitting the Lakeland fells on a balmy summer day to trekking through the French Alps to pounding the streets on a city break.
The Trail Light, in men’s and women’s specific fit and colours, uses Bridgedale’s unique WoolFusion technology, which brings together Enduro Wool and technical fibres to provide balanced insulation, fast-wicking moisture control and durability.
The moisture control of the Trail Light sock makes it the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts who are heading on a summer expedition in mountainous regions and sells for £13.99 a pair.
The Trail Ultra Light Sock, which also comes in men’s and women’s specific fit and colours, has WoolFusion technology too. Trail Ultra Light is a cushioned sock with maximum ventilation for lower-level warm weather walking on defined paths and a pair retails at £14.49.
The Light Hiker is also available in men’s and women’s specific fit and colours and uses CoolFusion technology, which maximises the benefits of natural and technical fibres, which have been knitted to deliver a highly ventilated sock which is light and comfortable in the warmest of conditions.
Lightly cushioned underfoot for all day comfort on long hikes, Coolmax fibres draw moisture away from the skin and transport it to the outer surface for maximum dryness and comfort, selling for £13.49.
