Bridgedale and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) have worked together to bring to you a recommended range of socks that are suitable for DofE activities and expeditions.
As the UK’s number one technical outdoor and ski sock brand, Bridgedale prides itself on making socks in the UK, that fit and stay fitted time after time. Just as it is important to select the right boots or shoes for your chosen activity, it is equally important to have the right fitting socks. Your boots are only as good as the socks inside them! Blisters are an ever-occurring problem on expeditions and with the correct socks, prevention is much better than cure.
Bridgedale socks with their unique WoolFusion® technology will cushion your feet, absorb and wick perspiration and provide insulation against the cold when needed.
With extensive field testing, Bridgedale’s are proven as the sock of choice by many DofE participants.
Ruth Patterson, Gold participant says “With so much to think about on an expedition, it’s great to know that your feet are going to be warm, comfortable and well looked after when you are wearing Bridgedale’s – I trust them to help me to the end”
