This model is a great choice for both skiing and snowboarding, especially when using snug-fitting boots. There is padding on the sole and the front of the shin, but the socks still provide an excellent feel and control. As expected from Bridgedale, the socks fit without any wrinkles or pressure points. The fit around the ankle and instep is snugger, while the area above the ankle is thinner. - Wide double cuff at the top - Extra stretch in the calf - Shaft length from above the heel: 33 cm - 48% polyamide, 25% merino wool, 25% Endurofil polypropylene, 2% Lycra - S = 35 - 37, M = 38 - 40, L = 41 - 43 - 5-year warranty for material and manufacturing defects For long-time Bridgedale fans: This sock model was previously known as Vertige Mid.
