## Description

Product description THE ULTIMATE TACTICAL SOCK A sock that works as hard as you do. Our socks are the most comfortable and durable socks you'll ever own. MICRO CREW HEIGHT The micro crew is a shorter, more concise take on the traditional crew height. Peeks just above the top of a standard hiking boot. ULTIMATE COMFORT 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. CUSHION DENSITY The go-to choice for hot, high-humidity environments on Tactical deployment, lightweight yarns offer the lowest profile. The thin knit Tactical socks with no cushion offer the lowest profile in the category. 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. SUSTAINABILITY Darn Tough aims to improve the well-being of our community by locally designing and manufacturing the most comfortable, durable, best fitting socks while continuously reducing our environmental impacts. MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS Every material we use in our socks has been carefully chosen and tested to meet our rigorous durability standards. We currently use natural and synthetic fibers, and only 3 types of fiber per sock. As you’d expect, we are actively investigating and testing new fibers and yarn blends that do not appear in our current products. We’ve prioritized Merino wool throughout our product lines and our goal of producing the most responsibly made product is reflected in our commitment to the success of the Responsible Wool Standard. MERINO WOOL Merino wool is the most important and relied upon fiber in our products and accounted for 56% of our yarn consumption by weight last year. For many years we’ve prioritized the use of Merino wool exclusively from sheep that have not been exposed to the practice of mulesing. In early 2019 we made a commitment to support the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and shift 100% of our wool supply to RWS-certified Merino wool. RWS is a voluntary standard with strict guidelines to protect animal welfare and adhere to progressive, sustainable farm and land management practices while maintaining traceability throughout the entire supply chain. Although the market share for RWS is only estimated at ~1% of global wool production, the number of certified sources has grown substantially over the last couple years. Today, 100% of the wool we procure is RWS-certified. RECYCLED NYLON We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber made from pre-consumer industrial waste that would otherwise be landfilled or downcycled. Using REPREVE instead of virgin nylon allows us to offset the use of crude oil, benzene, cyclohexane, and other harmful hydrocarbons that are involved in the production of virgin fiber. In short, using recycled nylon conserves energy and water and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing. While we aim to reduce our use of virgin nylon in our products, recycled nylon only accounted for 4% of our nylon consumption last year. We’re actively working with our suppliers to source more recycled nylon so we can incorporate it across our product lines. To date, nylons generated from pre-consumer waste material have held up well against our durability requirements, but we’d like to find an equally good source of post-consumer recycled nylon or yarns that blend both pre and post-consumer nylon. SPANDEX/ELASTANE We use Lycra to provide elasticity, strength, and form-fitting comfort. While spandex accounts for no more than 5% of the fiber used in our finished product, it represented 27% of the raw materials we procured last year. Like conventional nylon, spandex is derived from petroleum and has been important to the performance of our products. Unfortunately, it’s the most difficult material in our fiber mix to replace with a recycled alternative. When it comes to synthetics, we’re primarily focused on converting virgin nylon and polyester to recycled alternatives. However, we’re also looking for functional, recycled spandex alternatives. 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

Review: Best socks but you pay for it - Best socks I’ve ever bought. Pricey but well worth it as I’ve had pairs last for years while other brands barely last 6 months. I find them quite comfortable just make sure you double check the size guide before buying I think they run a little small.
Review: Pricey but great quality - Best socks I own and very durable. Price is high but quality is there. They are very comfortable and are better than expected. I bought them for duty use.
