The inner pair are thin polypro liner socks. The outter pair are thin wool or wool/synthetic blend. Often I wear thin downhill ski socks as the outter layer since I already own them for downhill skiing. Downhill socks also stay up really well. Jonathan |

Best fit, best comfort, best warmth for the weight, EXTREMELY good wearing. They outwear Smartwool (my previous choice) by about 10X. Therefore well worth the price (they're not cheap). I use the crosscountry socks, with no liner for both striding and skating. |

Sounds like you might be in love?? :-) I'm picking up some Bridgedale socks for this coming season... hope they're as good as you've found them to be. They are a tad on the not-too-cheap side.

I'll have to check these out because I currently use Smartwool socks and have never had a problem with feel getting cold ... classic or skate. robin |

Regards, Chris Cole I am kind of gushing aren't I 8-). One of the reasons I gush so much is that it is natural for someone to look at the price and think "no way" because you can probably buy a couple pair of Smartwool or similar good quality socks for the same price. Seriously, I got a pair as a gift a few years ago and was *very* skeptical because (1) they are very expensive and (2) they seemed to be way "over engineered". But after using them, I decided that the design actually was functionally excellent for xc skiing and then after a couple of years with absolutely no sign of wear, I decided they were quite a bit more durable than my old Smartwool socks which got threadbare on the bottoms at the balls of my feet and the heels after a couple seasons. I now have 3 1/2 pair of Bridgedale socks (don't ask, but you probably know what happened). The original 1 1/2 pair are still good as new after I think 4 seasons of use - and I ski probably 100 times per year. No signs of wear. |

So is the cross country ski sock the model of choice?

Sierra Trading Post has the cross county Bridgedale for $9.95. They are supposed to be cosmetic seconds. I'll see when the order arrives. Regards, Chris Cole |
