Bridgedale’s socks are pretty much well… legendary. For thousands of years (well, not really, but next year the mill celebrates 100 years of making durable and comfortable socks). I’ve had a variety of Bridgedale socks at my disposal over the past few months and am typically drawn to the thinnest socks in the lot. In this case that’s the new X-Hale Speed Demon socks.
Here are a few details on the Bridgedale X-Hale Speed Demon socks:
- Fit & Function: Mapped impact cushioning, cooling ventilation.
- Construction: Light and highly breathable. T2 double loop cushioning for impact protection.
- Features: Light, fast wicking Tactel mesh removes excess perspiration. WoolFusion® combination of Merino Wool and Endurofil™ is mapped for maximum support and heel retention.
- Contents: 55% Nylon / polyamide, 23% Endurofil™ / polypropylene, 20% Merino Wool / laine merino, 2% Lycra® / elastane
- Colors: White/Maroon, White/Black, Grey/Black
- MSRP: $15.95/pair
These socks have been great performers for trail running, road running and casual use. Though I typically prefer something even thinner than these (some would question my sanity), the Speed Demon’s provide ample light cushioning to help cushion every footstrike.
Durability of these socks has been great… I’ve been not-too-kind to them, like usual. A walk across the street to get the mail or in the backyard to track down a lost child has been typical for these socks.
The blend of fabric on the Speed Demons is excellent–providing comfort next-to-skin and support in just the right places. Looking at the blended yarns and materials on these socks and its no wonder they have been making socks for so long.
The only major downer is the lack of colors… everything is mostly white with either black or red accents. I’m not much of a fan of white socks. (It looks like they have introduced a grey/black option now… much preferred.)
If you’re looking for a solid pair of lightweight socks for running or trail running, check out the Bridgedale X-Hale Speed Demon socks.
