What are the Vertex No-Show Ultra-light Coolmax's?
This sock from Darn Tough is one of the lightest padded running socks that we have ever come across. The Coolmax Vertex No Show Ultra-light has been stripped right down, only leave the essential cushioning underneath your feet for optimal breathability and comfort. Alternatively, it makes the perfect everyday trainer sock as when your shoes are on, the sock is gone! The sock has a comfortable ultra low fit that is lightweight and breathable making them an ideal travel sock. We have been using these socks for a while now and I have to say that they are the best sock brand I have ever used in over 30 years.
Despite the slightly cheesy, and very long, name these socks are amazing! What makes the Darn Tough socks so different and so durable is the way they are constructed. They are made with an incredibly high stitch count which gives them superb durability and comfort; this is how Darn Tough has managed to offer a lifetime guarantee on every sock which states:
“If our socks are not the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair, or your money back. No strings. No conditions. For life.”
What are they made of?
These brilliant socks are made with a combination of Polyester and Coolmax for optimal moisture management and breathability as well as ensuring the socks are durable enough to last you a very long time indeed. They are a mixture of 52% Coolmax, 44% Polyester Nylon and 4% Lycra. The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true workhorse that is supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying; whilst the mesh panelling on the top of the foot allows moisture to wick away quickly, meaning your feet are always cool.
How cushioned are they?
These socks have ultra-light cushioning throughout the sock with an extra layer of light cushioning around the heel and base of the foot for comfort and extra protection.
What are the features?
The sock has a comfortable ultra low fit that is lightweight and breathable making them an ideal travel sock and your comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams giving them an almost invisible feel. They also have graduated light compression throughout the sock to provide you with enough support to tackle day-long trails.
