In-use Test:

Very comfortable with great cushioning and moisture control. With MMS®, the trekker offers high levels of wicking and maximises the performance of breathable waterproof footwear.

Washed well with no bobbling. Incidentally, to prevent the wool drying out Bridgedale recommend handwashing your socks every 6 months, with 5mls of olive oil added to the water.

To keep your feet dry and help prevent abrasion damage and blisters, Bridgedale have designed their own Moisture Management System (MMS®).

Bridgedale's MMS® technology helps to transport moisture away from the skin via transferring yarns, to an outer absorbent layer. The moisture is held in this layer allowing the feet to breath. Locking the moisture away from the skin enables feet to remain warm, dry, blister-free and comfortable.

Recommended for Mountaineering, Trekking, Backpacking, Trail Hiking and Leisure Walks.

Buying Advice:

Good sock at a good price. Great cushioning and moisture control.

• Having bought a pair of these I am now a convert to Bridgedale socks. I find these socks provide good cushioning and ventilation. I am fortunate in not having "hot" feet, but I suspect that these would be great if your feet do run hot. They are well shaped to fit your foot without annoying slack and long enough to tuck your trousers into. They wash well without problems of bobbling or shrinkage. I have also bought their summer weight socks which are excellent when it is warm.
