Targeted asymmetric cushioning and breathability with anti-microbial and anti-bacterial technology.
When cruising up one of Colorado's Fourteeners your feet demand a sock that offers a balanced combination of cushioning and breathability. The Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Sock features deep anatomic and asymmetrically shaped cushioning that helps reduce weight, and protects the feet. By targeting specific cushioning areas, such as full boot height protection, differential cuff protection, and instep ridge padding, the Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Sock for men offers phenomenal hiking and climbing comfort. Venting is addressed with sculpted open mesh throughout the sock to promote cool and dry feet. Bridgedale uses Be-Fresh with Aircell sock yarn technology which impregnates the fiber with 11 minerals, resulting in an anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and deodorizing sock. Aircell is a patented process that allows its effects to last for more than 3 years. Bridgedale's Woolfusion hybrid sock yarn fuses Merino Wool with Endurofil fibers to move moisture away from the skin for all-day comfortable dry feet. The Bridgedale Men's Ventum Light Hiker Sock is ideal for multi-day backpacking adventures and endurance pursuits.

Wish I had bought these socks sooner!
When I started looking for hiking socks, I searched hiking forums and this sock was mentioned several times. I'm glad I took the advice of others. The sock felt great and kept my feet cool. At the end of my first hike wearing these socks, I wasn't thinking to myself, "I can't wait to take my boots off to let my feet dry and cool off". I plan to buy more. I advise anyone else to buy them too.

GREAT socks!
I just bought a second pair! Kept my feet at the perfect temperature when backpacking in Colorado! Great to avoid hot, sweaty feet. Super comfortable, looking to wear them for a looooong time!

Great cushioning and nice light top
This is a great sock for exercising in the spring and fall. The cushioning is suburb. Its length is just long enough enough for to wear with shorts or with long pants. Also the sock is light enough at the top to keep you warm but not get too hot..

A Great Sock for the Warmer Months Ahead
Because I liked the Bridgedale Trekker socks so much I decided to get some lighter weight socks for the summer these do the trick. They feel great and I appreciate the support in all key areas, made possible by the left/right specificity of each sock. Now that the warm weather is here I am very grateful to have cushioned socks that are lightweight enough to wear all summer long.

Great cushioning effect
These are the best socks that I have worn since those issued to me in the USMC 1952. They offer an excellent cushioning feel and they hug the entire foot. No slipping or wadding up in the shoe. Very comfortable and not hot to wear. Don't know yet about durability however they did not shrink after washing and drying in a clothes drier.
