About this piece

Beefy in personality, versatile in form, our cushy Mountaineering sock makes the most of big summit efforts and down day energy in a Heavyweight Micro Crew. Full-wrap cushion around the footbed and all-over Merino offer warm, lounge-worthy comfort akin to your favorite house slippers but with the proven, long-wear durability to explore beyond your comfort zone (and laundry basket) for weeks on end.

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.
