When cruising up one of Colorado's Fourteeners your feet demand a sock that offers a balanced combination of cushioning and breathability. The Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Sock features deep anatomic and asymmetrically shaped cushioning that helps reduce weight, and protects the feet. By targeting specific cushioning areas, such as full boot height protection, differential cuff protection, and instep ridge padding, the Bridgedale Ventum Light Hiker Sock for men offers phenomenal hiking and climbing comfort. Venting is addressed with sculpted open mesh throughout the sock to promote cool and dry feet. Bridgedale uses Be-Fresh with Aircell sock yarn technology which impregnates the fiber with 11 minerals, resulting in an anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and deodorizing sock. Aircell is a patented process that allows its effects to last for more than 3 years. Bridgedale's Woolfusion® hybrid sock yarn fuses Merino Wool with Endurofil fibers to move moisture away from the skin for all-day comfortable dry feet. The Bridgedale Men's Ventum Light Hiker Sock is ideal for multi-day backpacking adventures and endurance pursuits.
GREAT socks!
I just bought a second pair! Kept my feet at the perfect temperature when backpacking in Colorado! Great to avoid hot, sweaty feet. Super comfortable, looking to wear them for a looooong time!
Great cushioning and nice light top
This is a great sock for exercising in the spring and fall. The cushioning is suburb. Its length is just long enough enough for to wear with shorts or with long pants. Also the sock is light enough at the top to keep you warm but not get too hot..
A Great Sock for the Warmer Months Ahead
Because I liked the Bridgedale Trekker socks so much I decided to get some lighter weight socks for the summer these do the trick. They feel great and I appreciate the support in all key areas, made possible by the left/right specificity of each sock. Now that the warm weather is here I am very grateful to have cushioned socks that are lightweight enough to wear all summer long.

Great cushioning effect
These are the best socks that I have worn since those issued to me in the USMC 1952. They offer an excellent cushioning feel and they hug the entire foot. No slipping or wadding up in the shoe. Very comfortable and not hot to wear. Don't know yet about durability however they did not shrink after washing and drying in a clothes drier.
Ladies can wear them too
This sock isn't just for the guys -- I have a size 7 foot and the small works great for me, it isn't baggy around the toe at all. It would be even better if Bridgedale made a women's version like their other socks.
Excellent moisture wicking socks
I wore these socks hiking in the Northern Wisconsin area in October. It was pretty much wet all day - however the socks kept me dry. That was a test hike for this year big hike in the Sierras. I definitely bring 3 pairs so I can swap a pair during lunch time - to keep my feet free from blisters.
Great sock for someone who hates being too hot!
Wore these recently trekking in Kauai and could not be more happy. Paired well with goretex Merrell midheight boots -- a nice waterproof, breatheable combo. Nice padding and dries quickly. Don't know yet about durability.
Very comfortable socks
Nice fit, nice cushion, comfortable for hiking.
My New Favorites
Great combination of vents and padding. They are super soft and stay that way. The padding is positioned according to bone and joint locations on the foot. They come in right and left. Perfect for spring and summer backpacking. Great Socks!
nice overall weight
nice breathable sock
Nicely weighted and breathable
I have several other styles of Bridgedales and this is one of the lightest yet cushioned sock I have. I just wish they were a little longer up the calf to add support.
cool, comfortable,however;
I am a huge fan of Bridgedale socks,they are what I wear backpacking, hiking,everyday. The one and only problem I have with the Ventum Light Hikers is it doesn't stay in place like all my other Bridgedale socks. They slip down and "shifted" during my hike. I won't give up on Bridgedale, but I won't recommend these to my friends.
