Unrivaled Durability
Darn Tough makes one thing, and they make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to unconditionally guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail. The socks that do get returned through warranty inform how they can be improved. And they do get improved. Their guarantee is a promise to you, but it’s a standard for them. They have yet to produce their best sock, but they get better with every step.
My niece suggested these socks for her husband from us for Christmas. These are the only socks he will wear as they last forever and have a lifetime warranty. He loves all the different colors too. He bought a pair for my niece for Christmas as I expect he wants her to love them too!
