About this piece

One of our most tech-savy snow socks, the new Function X was re-engineered to provide max comfort and warmth for resort skiers and riders. Made from midweight merino wool, these ultra-smooth socks make all the difference if you decide to head back out after lunch. Terry cushioning in the shin and the 'X' on top of the foot provides warmth while added heel durability protects you run after run.

About the artist

Ric Cabot's family has been making socks in the same Northfield mill since 1978. When cheap imports nearly killed the business, Ric pivoted to premium merino wool and slapped an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every pair. The bet worked. Darn Tough now knits over 30,000 pairs a day, employs 300+ Vermonters, and has an estimated return rate under 3%. The guarantee isn't a gimmick — it's a quality control mechanism that forces them to build socks that simply don't wear out.
