Product description


THE ULTIMATE HIKING SOCK
A sock that works as hard as you do. Our socks are the most comfortable and durable socks you’ll ever own.

HIKE/TREK (STYLE #1958)
1/4 Sock Height, sits just above the ankle. The “just right” height that’s fast and light. Great for low-cut hikers and running shoes.

RIBBED SUPPORT
No slipping, no bunching, and no blisters. The ultimate fiber for breathability and comfort in all conditions, the All Weather Performance means cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

PERFORMANCE FIT
The Hiker delivers more for those who need it most. Performance Trail Fit means no bunching, no slipping, no blisters. Side vents deliver superior breathability. Legendary Darn Tough construction never backs down–always goes further.

TRUE SEAMLESS
Undetectable seam fusion for an ultra smooth, invisible feel. Darn Tough uses high density knitting techniques, which means there are more stitches per inch. This leads to a more comfortable, durable, great fitting sock with no added bulk.

SOCK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
We live and work in Northfield, Vermont. Our backyard is the perfect testing ground to make the finest Premium All Weather Performance Socks. We ski, snowboard, hike, bike and run in the most unforgiving climate in the lower 48. It is under these conditions that we design, test and manufacture our socks.
STILL MADE IN VERMONT, USA
After so many decades why do we still knit every pair of our socks here in Vermont? We don’t do it because it’s the easy thing to do—we do it because it’s the right thing to do. We do it because for us, it’s the only way to do it. There are faster and cheaper alternatives but nobody ever outsourced anything for quality.
ONE FAMILY – We are family owned. For 40 years we’ve been knitting socks in the Green Mountains ONE MISSION – Darn Tough is a family-owned, American manufacturer of end-use-specific socks. ONE MILL – Every step of the knitting process happens right here, by us, locally, in Northfield, VT
59% Merino Wool 39% Nylon 2% Lycra Spandex
Imported
Midweight with Cushion – A warm and extremely comfortable choice when conditions demand it, this fine gauge knitted sock provides mid-level cushion density under your foot. True Seamless technology allows for an undetectable seam fusion for an ultra-smooth, invisible feel.
1/4 Sock Height – Sits just above the ankle. The “just right” height that’s fast and light. Great for low-cut hikers and running shoes.
Composition – Knit with 59% Merino Wool 39% Nylon 2% Lycra Spandex. The fast action wicking pulls moisture away from skin, so no more sweaty, stinky socks. The soft, breathable merino wool has fast drying, all weather performance that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Guaranteed for Life – If these socks wear, tear, or develop holes, Darn Tough will replace them. No strings. No conditions.
Made in the USA with yarns from America and around the globe – Every pair of socks is knit in Vermont – the perfect testing ground for the finest premium all weather performance socks.
