The Whetstone Sock from Darn Tough looks fantastic and adds a splash of colour to the normally drab world of outdoor socks. However this is so much more than just another brightly coloured everyday sock, it is made with extra fine gauge merino wool for superb temperature regulation and anti-stink properties.
The sock has a comfort shin high fit that is lightweight and breathable making them an ideal everyday and 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.
Despite the slightly cheesy 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.”
These sublime socks are made from a mixture of 61% Merino wool, 35% Nylon and 4% Lycra. The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true work horse that is supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying. Merino wool has a natural ability to repel bacteria, so you can wear these socks for days before you need to wash them and allows them to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter...genius!
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.
