Quite possibly the best cover guy in the game, the Athletic sock line’s quarter is on your every move. The mesh panels on top of the foot give it an incredibly light, airy feel, but the cushion underneath is down to bump and run. Wrapping the foot, our performance zone is knit like a second skin of Merino Wool for moisture-wicking, no-slip greatness that never gets burned.

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.
