Bridgedale StormSock Heavy Knee Waterproof Socks - Olive/Black

When the trail turns into a stream crossing and the rain won't let up, the Bridgedale StormSock Heavy Knee keeps your feet dry and warm. Built for hikers, trekkers, and mountaineers who push through wet and cold conditions, these knee-length waterproof socks combine a rugged nylon outer with a soft merino wool inner, sealed by a Hydrotech membrane. The olive and black design is as practical as it is understated, ready for everything from alpine ascents to winter dog walks.

Why choose it

Unlike traditional waterproof socks that feel stiff and clammy, the StormSock Heavy Knee layers a flexible PU membrane between two soft fabrics. The merino wool blend wicks sweat away from your skin, while the nylon outer shrugs off abrasion from boots and rough terrain. The knee-high length means even deep puddles and wet brush won't soak through to your legs. Plus, the flat toe seam and anatomical fit prevent blisters on descents.

Ideal use cases

• Hiking in persistent rain or muddy conditions
• Trekking with frequent stream crossings
• Mountaineering in snow and slush
• Winter sports like snowshoeing or fat biking
