A finely balanced warm-weather hiking sock with dependable structure and lasting comfort. Lightweight, supportive and well-made, it delivers reliable performance for long days on the trail.
Bridgedale says:
A new ankle length version of the Hike Ultra Light T2 Merino Performance, an ultra-light cushioned sock designed for long-distance hot weather adventures, which ensures your feet stay cool, comfortable and dry when temperatures soar.
Engineered advanced T2 zonal padding provides lightweight micro cushioning that minimises heat retention. Large areas of sculpted open mesh structure promote easy moisture transportation away from the foot.
Merino Performance Fusion Technology provides resilient padding, exceptional moisture wicking and outstanding durability for all day comfort. The Performance Fit is close and supportive, so won’t slip down or bunch in your footwear.
The Flat Toe Seam minimises bulk in the toe box and the sock is kept securely in place with an Elasticated Arch and 3D-shaped heel cup.
Built on a structure of Lycra®, and set by our Thermo Fit process, the sock returns to its original shape and size after every wash. This shorter length sock is ideal for people who prefer a lower cut shoe rather than a boot.
Our Verdict
At 38g (Medium), this ultralight ankle sock feels precise on the foot, with a secure fit that stays in place. The fine Merino blend manages moisture efficiently and regulates temperature across long, warm ascents, while the high Nylon content adds resilience and abrasion resistance that helps the sock maintain its shape after repeated use.
Zoned cushioning softens impact under the heel and forefoot, and the open-mesh upper supports ventilation during high output days. The flat toe seam and elasticated arch band enhance overall comfort and prevent movement inside the shoe.
