Product Information

Full details

The Bridgedale Heavyweight Stormsocks are engineered for adults tackling demanding outdoor activities in cold, wet environments. These socks provide the ultimate benefit of 100% waterproof protection combined with heavy-duty warmth, though their thick construction may feel bulkier than standard hiking socks, potentially requiring more room in your footwear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these socks fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a 100% waterproof membrane designed to keep water out during stream crossings and wet weather.

Can I wash them in a machine?

Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Do I need to wear a liner sock?

Generally, no. The Merino wool inner layer is designed to be worn directly against the skin for the best moisture management.

How do they handle odor?

The Merino wool interior is naturally anti-microbial and resistant to odors, even after extended use.

Can I dry them in a tumble dryer?

It is not recommended. Direct heat from a dryer can damage the waterproof membrane and the elasticity of the wool.

Troubleshooting

Feeling cold and wet after a long hike

Check if water entered through the top cuff during deep wading; otherwise, ensure the socks were not damaged by sharp objects during wear.

Socks feel too tight in boots

The heavyweight construction is thick; consider loosening your boot laces or using a boot with a wider volume fit.

Moisture accumulation inside the sock

This can be caused by perspiration during high-exertion activity; ensure you are not overdressing for the ambient temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 100% waterproof protection for wet trail conditions
  • Excellent warmth provided by heavy Merino wool content
  • Superior fit and stability due to integrated Lycra
  • Anti-microbial properties keep feet fresh for longer periods

Cons

  • Bulkier than non-waterproof performance socks
  • May require larger boots to accommodate thickness
  • Slower to dry than thinner synthetic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, it is vital to wear these socks with boots that offer enough volume to accommodate the thick, heavyweight terry knit without constricting circulation. For maintenance, wash these socks inside out on a cool cycle (max 30°C) with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical membrane and inhibit the moisture-wicking capabilities of the Merino wool. Air dry the socks naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can compromise the waterproof bonding layer.
