Bridgedale waterproof socks feature a Hydrotech membrane with a 10,000 mm hydrostatic head and a pretty decent breathability of 15,000 g/m2/24h. On the outside, a tough nylon knit protects the membrane from damage, while inside, soft merino wool keeps a pleasant climate – it resists odour and stays warm even when damp.
A word of warning, though: you can't cheat physics, so even waterproof socks have their limits. Sometimes they're the wrong choice, other times they're indispensable. Read how they work in our Advice section.
Waterproof socks are best suited mainly to colder conditions – spring, autumn, winter. They work best as a backup when your running shoes, cycling shoes or trekking boots get soaked. Or in the morning when the grass is full of dew. That's when waterproof socks make the most sense. More in our Advice section.
