The Bridgedale StormSock HeavyWeight Boot Sock is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who require a 100% waterproof barrier without sacrificing breathability or comfort. Ideal for cold-weather hiking, mountaineering, or wet-terrain trekking, these socks provide a technical three-layer construction featuring a Merino wool interior for moisture management and a durable outer shell. While they provide excellent thermal protection and weatherproofing, the heavyweight nature of the fabric means they are best suited for cooler climates rather than high-intensity summer activities.

While the Merino wool is breathable, the heavyweight terry cushioning makes these socks better suited for cooler or cold-weather conditions.
No, the StormSock is designed as a standalone system. The internal layer is already engineered to wick moisture away from the skin.
Wash inside-out at 40°C or lower using mild soap. Avoid fabric conditioners and never iron or bleach them.
Yes, they feature a breathable membrane that allows moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.
They are designed for standard hiking boots, but their heavyweight nature means they will take up more space than a standard mid-weight sock.
The flat toe seam is designed to sit flush against the skin, significantly reducing the likelihood of blister formation and rubbing.
Ensure you are not wearing the socks with unbreathable footwear; if the boot traps moisture against the outside of the sock, the membrane cannot effectively vent perspiration.
Check that the sock is pulled taut and smooth without wrinkles, and consider adjusting your lacing system to ensure your foot is locked firmly in place.
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these care instructions: wash inside-out at a low temperature (below 40°C) using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can strip the membrane of its waterproof properties. When drying, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these are heavyweight socks, verify that your boots have enough volume; if your boots are already tight-fitting, the added thickness of the cushioning may cause discomfort by restricting circulation.
