Whether you’re thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail or running your favorite route, the Darn Tough Hiker 1/4 Sock will give you the comfortable, breathable performance you need—with just the right amount of cushion and stretch. Each pair is made from a blend of merino wool, nylon, and a splash of Lycra, and features a sturdy, seamless construction that prevents slipping, bunching, and blisters. For any adventure, any time of year, cushioning along the bottom of the foot reduces impact, while the ankle height—rising 6.5 inches TThat the heel—protects against heel rub.
Merino wool keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. Along with offering extra UV protection, it prevents overheating and clamminess by absorbing and releasing vapor. Plus, it’s naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant, so you can stretch an extra day (or two) out of your pair when needed.
The Cabots have been in the sock business for three generations, starting in 1978 in the Green Mountains of Northfield, Vermont with Cabot Hosiery Mills. Born a few decades later, Darn Tough maintains the family’s ethos: great-fitting, long-lasting socks, made right here in the US. All socks are knit on small-needle, fine-gauge machines in the original mill for high-quality, high-density stitching without the bulk. And Darn Tough is so confident you’ll love them, every pair comes with the company’s Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.
