What are the Mountain Over-the-Calf Socks?
Heavy snow, ice climbs, cross country skiing, freezing rain - tough, sub-zero conditions need socks that will look after your feet so you have one less thing to worry about. Extra heavy terry loop construction provides supreme protection and comfort for high mountain environments. I have been using these socks for a while now and I have to say that they are the best socks I have ever used in over 30 years.
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. Every sock is made with an incredibly high loop stitch count which produces more cushioned loops per square inch than any other sock. Not only does this provide supreme cushioning, but because the loops are so densely packed they cannot flatten and shear under use. 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 sublime socks are made from a mixture of 73% Merino wool, 25% Nylon and 2% 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.
How cushioned are they?
The Mountain Over-the-Calf socks have Extra Cushioning throughout the sock - Darn Toughs thickest, burliest and highest density cushioning for optimal protection from the elements.
What are the features?
The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching and blistering and they have an over calf height with a supportive and comfortable cuff that isn’t too tight. They are perfect for all mountaineering boots. Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams and increases comfort.
