These sock have it all, they are warm, don't hold onto stink and have extra cushioning where you need it and none where you don't. I have a size 13 foot and the XL fits awesome, like they were custom made for me. You'll love them

The socks may seen too thin for warmth, but surprising keep your feet warm. The padding is in the correct places for long days of skiing. I thought I might need to change socks halfway through the day due to sweat. But it was all wicked away by the correct fabric composition. I will buy these socks again.

Like one reviewer before me, I was stuck on the Ultralight Smartwool sock train; nothing else was thin enough in the forefoot, ankle, and heel to feel comfortable in my boots, but they were cold and the texture put hot spots on my ankle bones. I picked up 2 pair of these on a recommendation, and I haven't skied in anything else since. They're softer and warmer than the Ultralights, and they are thin through the ankle and forefoot with fitted "zones" that don't shift or bind up when bootpacking. The shins have some light padding, can't say I notice it much but it doesn't feel bulky. The toes have a bit of extra wool on the underside, again not bulky, but I definitely notice the difference in warmth. All in all a killer ski sock for anyone with a high-performance boot fit.

I never thought Bridgedale would steal my heart away from brands like Smartwool and Lorpen but these socks are top shelf in my book. Even when ski touring with temps near zero I wasn't cold. My alpine ski boots have foam fitted liners and these socks are thin enough to fit well but still kept me warm at the resort. Makes me want to purchase another pair so I've got a backup plan after 5 days of skiing in a row.
