Ski Socks Bridgedale Ski Midweight+ Merino P - gunmet/stone

Bridgedale Ski Mid+ Merino Performance Ski Socks are an excellent choice for skiers who value comfort, cold protection, and good thermal insulation during long days on the slopes. These are lightweight, yet not minimalist, thermally active, but not ultrathin socks that are pleasantly soft, consistently fluffy, and very warm. Crafted with attention to every detail, they offer high quality, excellent fit, and foot-hugging comfort. Thanks to the dense weave, they provide the highest level of cushioning under the foot and exceptional thermal comfort. Based on high-quality natural merino wool, they maintain optimal thermal comfort, adapted to the intensity of physical effort and prevailing weather conditions. Furthermore, merino wool fibers also have antibacterial properties, slowing the development of unpleasant odors.

While merino wool itself is not resistant to wear, when combined with synthetic fibers, it effectively resists even such a demanding environment as... the inside of a ski boot! This is why the best Bridgedale ski socks blend natural yarn with super-durable nylon. This forms a super-resistant reinforcement structure. Meanwhile, the polypropylene Endurofil™ fibers have the lowest thermal conductivity among all yarns used by the British brand. Worn close to the body, they help retain the heat generated by the feet. They also facilitate the transport of moisture produced by the skin to the insoles and the ski boot liner, where it no longer poses a threat and will evaporate when you dry your boots in the evening. Keeping your feet dry is key to keeping them warm! The addition of Lycra® ensures a good fit to the foot and resistance to deformation.

Merino Technology:
High-quality technical clothing is increasingly making use of the fantastic properties of merino wool. This natural material is obtained from the fleeces of sheep living in some of the most demanding places on Earth. These are locations where the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius in summer and plummet to -20 degrees Celsius in winter. These sheep, known as Merinos, must cope with both heat and cold. Their secret weapon is wool, which features thousands of micro-pockets of air that act as an insulating buffer against extreme temperatures. In summer, the fibers don't heat up as much as our bodies do, and in winter, moisture responsible for chilling is absorbed by the merino fibers and transported to the outside. Its specific properties mean that even when the fibers are wet, they remain pleasant to the touch and retain some of their insulating properties. Merino wool dries faster than cotton and significantly faster than regular wool. It also doesn't allow bacteria to settle in, greatly reducing the development of unpleasant odors.
