Bridgedale Explorer Heavy Merino Performance polvisukat - oliivi

Expedition-grade knee socks engineered for extreme cold and high-altitude comfort, delivering heavyweight cushioning and superior moisture management. The Bridgedale Explorer Heavy Merino Performance Knee socks combine the natural warmth and odor resistance of Merino wool with the durability and quick-drying performance of Endurofil™ polypropylene and nylon. Built with Bridgedale's Fusion Technology, these socks provide a performance fit, elasticated arch support, and a flat toe seam to prevent blisters during long expeditions. Ideal for mountaineering, winter trekking, and polar expeditions, they offer maximum insulation and reliable protection in the harshest conditions.

Advantages

Heavyweight cushioning absorbs impact and reduces fatigue on demanding terrain. The knee-high length provides extra warmth and protection against boot rub and debris. Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, wicks moisture, and resists odors, keeping feet dry and comfortable over multiple days. Endurofil™ and nylon enhance durability in high-wear zones, while LYCRA® ensures a secure, non-slip fit. The flat toe seam and Y-heel construction minimize friction, reducing the risk of blisters. Fusion Technology bonds fibers for long-lasting performance without bulk.
