Bridgedale Liners are the perfect socks to wear if you want to create a secondary layer of protection that protects your feet from the cold during multi-day expeditions in extreme weather. Keeping warm and dry throughout the trip is number one item on your priority list; especially for your feet and comfortable for as long as possible, whatever the climate or terrain. They are so thin they can be scrunched up and will fit into the smallest of spaces in your backpack, so you can have fresh, clean Liner socks everyday under a pair of Bridgedale Hike or Explorer Socks making your feet feel insulated, comfortable and fresh day after day. Bridgedale Liners also make a great everyday sock to be worn on their own.
