    Bridgedale Socks Women's Ascent Sock
    You invested a chunk of change on a good tent. You probably spent a couple of monthly allowances on specialized hiking/climbing boots. So doesn't it make sense to make a practical investment in a couple of pairs of technical three to four season climbing socks? If the average pair of feet has over 200,000 skin pores and those pores can shed as much as two cups of perspiration in a twelve-hour hike, do you really want to endure the pain and discomfort of soggy cotton socks over the last half-dozen miles? The Bridgedale Women's Ascent Sock offers a highly technical multi-fabric design that's specifically designed to keep your feet drier and more comfortable during climbs, backpacking trips and extended day hikes. The innovative Moisture Management System features a moisture-conducting fiber layer against the skin that rapidly transfers perspiration to an outer absorbent layer. Once on the outer layer, the moisture remains away from your skin. By pairing the Ascent Sock with a breathable boot liner like Gore-Tex, you optimize the comfort and performance of your hiking and climbing boots.

Elastic arch and ankle braces, innovative components of SmartWool's SmartFit technology, support the foot and keep the sock from slipping or bunching mid-run.

Similarly, a special instep contour flex zone allows foot and sock to move as one.

    SmartWool Hiking Liner Crew
    Used by veteran climbers, backpackers, and trail runners worldwide, the liner sock creates a friction buffer between the foot and outer sock. Assuming there is adequate volume within the hiking or running shoe, this additional layer takes the brunt of any rubbing, not your foot. The SmartWool Hiking Liner Crew sock is a great option for trying this technique. If you're suffering from blisters and hot spots, give this solution a try. Also, the SmartWool Hiking Liner Crew provides a touch more warmth for cold conditions.

    Whether your hike is a short Saturday morning getaway or a multi-day go-light excursion, the SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock cares for your feet every step of the way. The unique SmartWool fiber is the primary comfort component. These fine micron fibers not only have a very soft feel, they also wick moisture rapidly to maintain a dry environment inside the boot. Other comfort features include a flat-knit toe seam to assure a smooth surface against the toes and a ribbed leg cuff offering excellent horizontal stretch for a more comfortable form fit. The SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock's dedication to foot comfort is further demonstrated by the inclusion of sole area cushioning and a spandex reinforced arch brace that holds the sock in place and supports the foot.
    Sku: 10

    SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew
    A superb general hiking or backpacking sock, the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock has ample cushioning for extended trips but is not so bulky that it's out of the question for day hikes. Looking beyond the cushioning, the SmartWool fibers play a major role in the comfort experience. These fibers are extremely small, with a diameter much smaller than a human hair. This makes for a very soft sock, a feeling that is very inviting to the feet the moment you slip them on. The SmartWool fibers also move moisture at a phenomenal rate, wicking away perspiration vapor before it has a chance to turn to a liquid. Another important comfort advantage of the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock is the supportive arch brace. This brace feels much like a terry cloth wristband, wrapping around the mid-foot area to hold the sock in place and support the foot.
    Sku: 10

    SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew
    A great choice for summer mountaineering trips or other adventures involving colder temperatures, the SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew sock provides a haven of comfort for your feet. Heavy full cushioning surrounds the foot, a nice buffer to have when wearing the heavier, stiffer footwear usually associated with extended alpine excursions. The SmartWool fibers also have a lot to do with the fabulous comfort experienced in the SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew sock. They have a very small micron diameter, between one-tenth and one-third the size of a human hair, making for a very soft, comfortable feel. And equally important, these same fibers move perspiration moisture at a fast clip, even while still in the vapor stage so the feet stay dry throughout the day.
    Sku: 10

    SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf
    Ideal for a climb of Mount Rainier, or that trip-of-a-lifetime trek in the Himalayas, the SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf sock bathes your feet in high altitude comfort. The unique SmartWool fibers have the ability to keep feet warm and dry when the temperature drops and perspiration free when the temperature rises. This is due to the fiber's fast moisture moving characteristics, transporting water before it condenses while still in the vapor stage. The SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf sock not only cushions the bottom of the foot, but the top of the foot too. This aids in protecting the foot from pressure caused by stiff boot uppers, crampon straps, and impact from kicking steps up long couloirs. Another feature of great value is the arch and ankle bracing - areas of increased spandex content to comfortably hug the foot and eliminate sock movement and bunching. After all, the last thing you want to worry about is an annoying wrinkle in your socks buried within your boots, crampons, and gaiters.
