Outer: 95% nylon, 5% elastane.
Inner: 45% merino wool, 45% polyester, 7.5% nylon, 2.5% elastane.
Between the inner and outer knits sits a waterproof, breathable polyurethane membrane, which Bridgedale prints as 100% PU.
What Bridgedale says about it
“Comprising 3 layers the lightweight ankle StormSock features a thin un-cushioned lining that wicks moisture away from your feet.”
“The stretch PU membrane and clever matrix lamination process that bonds the three layers of Bridgedale's Stormsock together ensure they have class leading stretch built right in, wear after wear.”
“The outer layer sock, made from nylon, protects the Hydrotech waterproof breathable membrane against abrasion from the boot.”
Cushion and weight labels are this brand’s own terms. They are not a shared thickness or temperature rating.

Check the size and the shoe together
Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Bridgedale size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.
The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.
Try the complete layered construction, not only one layer. Extra fabric can change toe room and pressure inside the shoe. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.
Care for the exact pair
Wash inside out on a 104°F wool cycle, dark colors separately, with no fabric conditioner or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat; do not iron, dry clean or dry on a radiator.
Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.
Another sock to compare
Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: “un-cushioned lining” here, not published there; check each brand’s size chart.
Sealskinz Surlingham Ankle Length uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
