Ideal for adventure racing, speed hiking, cycling, running or cross training, the Bridgedale Men's X-Hale Multi Sport socks are designed to be worn with lightweight, highly breathable footwear in warm conditions. Anatomically and asymmetrically shaped, cushioned protection is targeted under the heel, ball of the foot, and toes for optimal comfort. Strategically placed light mesh allows for 360-degree circulation that promotes cool and dry feet. At the core of Bridgedale's Men's X-Hale Multi Sport sock is Woolfusion® sock yarn. A technology unique to Bridgedale, Woolfusion® blends Merino Wool with synthetic Endurofil™. The Merino Wool absorbs moisture while the synthetic Endurofil™ wicks it away. This provides long-term comfort and blister control for the feet by moving excess moisture away from the skin.

Best Light sock I ever worn

Rating:*****

I have pretty warm feet, and traditionally wear thin Coolmax (defeet) socks. Being a cyclist, I have a few defeet socks. They are not real comfortable if you wear them all day. X-hale has thin pads for comfort, and mesh everywhere else.

X-hale not only has a radical look (without crazy artwork) but truly is much more comfortable than my defeets. I was dubious about all the hype 360 degree venting (under and over foot, and UNDER toes). The reality is they really kept my feet cooler than any sock I've worn.

Lightweight but durable

Rating:*****
I really love these socks. They hold up exceptionally well, eventhough they are lightweight. My feet stay dry and sweat very little. If you follow the washing directions, they keep their shape and do not shrink. I love Bridgedale socks because they do not rub and have reverse seams or no seams. I have very sensitive feet and cannot wear most socks, but I can wear these all day with no problem, even 1.5 years later, these socks are just as comfortable as the day I bought them.

Not Using for Sports

Rating:*****

I work in the TV & Movie industry and I'm always looking for socks I can wear in the summer that give me lots of support and cushion for my feet since I'm standing or walking most of the day.

These socks are great for this. I'm not running with them, but working long hours on my feet and these socks help.

Great socks for difficult feet, padding just right!

Rating:*****
I love walking and hiking but bunion surgery and a minor bone spur where the achilles tendon attaches make it difficult for me to find walking and hiking shoes that work for me. These socks have just the right amount of padding in the right areas while still breathing and staying cool. I love them.

Great Socks

Rating:*****

I ran the HURT 100 miler. Conditions were terrible...rain, mud, roots, rocks, and several stream crossings. After 35 hours of my feet in theses socks, I finished the run 100 miler with no blisters. Amazingly, my feet looked exactly the same as when I started the run. I would recommend these socks to anyone.

Comfy Feet - Ahhhh!

Rating:*****

Having used a couple of generations of Bridgedale multi-sport socks, I still think they are the most comfortable socks you can get. Whether walking kids to school, or 23 hours into an adventure race, the Bridgedale's are brilliant. They are so comfortable in any conditions that I forget they are even there.

Best Sports Socks

Rating:*****
These are the best sports socks that I've ever bought! I got 3 pairs of one of the discontinued colors, tried them out immediately and bought 4 more pairs. They're comfortable, fit well and are cushioned in all the right places. I plan on trying other Bridgedale socks.

Highly recommended for comfort, fit and styling.

Rating:*****
After receiving my 'low-rider' bridgedale socks, they became my every day sock for the summer. Light, comfortable, and well constructed. I'll order their heavier weight for winter biking and hiking. The recommendations of your staff and the quick turn around time were very much appreciated.

Very Impressed

Rating:*****
I am a big fan or performance socks, but this is the first pair of Bridgedale socks that I've owned. The are well made and comfortable (soft, supportive, & cool). I will be buying more of these socks as my smart wool socks are retired.

OK but Ultra Trail and Impact more comfortable

Rating:****

I have always liked Bridgedale socks. Excellent quality and fit, etc. I tried the X-Hale and found it not to be as comfortable as the Ultra Trail and Impact socks. Still good quality and fit, but not my favorite. Bridgedale is still the best.
