Our Verdict
Bridgedale's Hike Ultra Light Merino Performance Socks combine comfort, style, cushioning and breathability really well. The Merino version is the provides extra warmth and padding due to the bulkier fabric so they are best suited to cooler conditions or people want a little more padding and warmth.
The zoned design allows the socks to maximise comfort by placing some lighter materials across the top while additional cushioning is placed around areas with the most impact. The merino-synthetic blend keep more warmth in no matter what the conditions are. They also wick sweat well and have natural odour resistance.
