      Comments about Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Socks:

      These are the reason why I'm switching to wool socks. Very comfortable, NOT itchy at all, you have to try them! Great design - both thinner areas (grey color on pic) for ventilation and more padded areas (green color) for more cushioning for the food is needed. The only small drawback is that they got a tad fuzzy after the first few days of use - not really a problem for me... (Besides I noticed that my other wool socks from Columbia and REI have the same issue). I'll be buying more of these and would recommend them to friends.

      • Fit:
      • Feels true to size

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Socks:

        I wear these socks with my Garmont Flash GTX Mid's for cushioning and support without getting too hot hiking in the summer. So far, I am very impressed by the mix of thicker and thinner matierals that provide a smooth ride as well as great sweat transportation. I also like how the sock only rides half-way up my ankles, and how the asymmetric design makes for a perfect fit on each foot. Another plus is how the socks kill odors and stay fresh even after a whole day's use.

        Comments about Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Socks:

        I use them all day every day in leather hiking boots. I have been wearing nothing but wool socks for the last 6 years and these are by far the best sock I have ever worn. They are extra thick were you need the cushion and thin for cool feet were you do not need the cushioning. The environmentally friendly Anti-Microbial technology keeps them smelling fresh for days on end.
