Bridgedale GTX Socks
By Dan A. Nelson
GTX Socks |
|
For anyone out there who thinks blister protection and foot care on the trail begins and ends with boots, I've got news: an inexpensive pair of socks are just as critical to happy feet as boots costing hundreds of dollars. It figures, since boots may protect your feet from the trail, but socks protect your feet from the boots. Bridgedale's new GTX series of wool-blend socks are designed to work in conjunction with the high-tech materials and fabrics in today's boots to make your footwear system as effective and comfortable as possible.
GTX Socks are made of warm, durable merino wool blended with technical fibers, woven to provide optimal moisture management inside the boots. The GTX Socks — available in a variety of weights and thicknesses for all types of activities, from hiking to mountaineering — use a unique Moisture Transfer System to pull sweat away from your feet and push it outward to the lining of the boot, where the breathable materials in many modern hiking boots can take over and expel the moisture outward.
Price: $13$18
