sturdy companion. RIBBED SUPPORT No slipping, no bunching, and no blisters.

Weather Performance means cool in the summer, warm in the winter. PERFORMANCE
FIT There's nothing like twelve gnarly miles with an 80 lb. pack to get you
thinking about a sock that delivers more in the cushioning department. Our
Full Cushion Hiker sock delivers comfort that won't quit and durability for
the long haul. TRUE SEAMLESS Undetectable seam fusion for an ultra smooth,
invisible feel. Darn Tough uses high density knitting techniques, which means
there are more stitches per inch. This leads to a more comfortable, durable,
great fitting sock with no added bulk. Read more SUSTAINABILITY Darn Tough
aims to improve the well-being of our community by locally designing and
manufacturing the most comfortable, durable, best fitting socks while
continuously reducing our environmental impacts. MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS Every
material we use in our socks has been carefully chosen and tested to meet our
rigorous durability standards. We currently use natural and synthetic fibers,
and only 3 types of fiber per sock. As you’d expect, we are actively
investigating and testing new fibers and yarn blends that do not appear in our
current products. We’ve prioritized Merino wool throughout our product lines
and our goal of producing the most responsibly made product is reflected in
our commitment to the success of the Responsible Wool Standard. MERINO WOOL
Merino wool is the most important and relied upon fiber in our products and
accounted for 56% of our yarn consumption by weight last year. For many years
we’ve prioritized the use of Merino wool exclusively from sheep that have not
been exposed to the practice of mulesing. In early 2019 we made a commitment
to support the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and shift 100% of our wool
supply to RWS-certified Merino wool. RWS is a voluntary standard with strict
guidelines to protect animal welfare and adhere to progressive, sustainable
farm and land management practices while maintaining traceability throughout
the entire supply chain. Although the market share for RWS is only estimated
at ~1% of global wool production, the number of certified sources has grown
substantially over the last couple years. Today, 100% of the wool we procure
is RWS-certified. RECYCLED NYLON We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber made from
pre-consumer industrial waste that would otherwise be landfilled or
downcycled. Using REPREVE instead of virgin nylon allows us to offset the use
of crude oil, benzene, cyclohexane, and other harmful hydrocarbons that are
involved in the production of virgin fiber. In short, using recycled nylon
conserves energy and water and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from
manufacturing. While we aim to reduce our use of virgin nylon in our products,
recycled nylon only accounted for 4% of our nylon consumption last year. We’re
actively working with our suppliers to source more recycled nylon so we can
incorporate it across our product lines. To date, nylons generated from pre-
consumer waste material have held up well against our durability requirements,
but we’d like to find an equally good source of post-consumer recycled nylon
or yarns that blend both pre and post-consumer nylon. SPANDEX/ELASTANE We use
Lycra to provide elasticity, strength, and form-fitting comfort. While spandex
accounts for no more than 5% of the fiber used in our finished product, it
represented 27% of the raw materials we procured last year. Like conventional
nylon, spandex is derived from petroleum and has been important to the
performance of our products. Unfortunately, it’s the most difficult material
in our fiber mix to replace with a recycled alternative. When it comes to
synthetics, we’re primarily focused on converting virgin nylon and polyester
to recycled alternatives. However, we’re also looking for functional, recycled
spandex alternatives. Sustainability Merino Wool Recycled Nylon
Spandex/Elastane SOCK CAPITAL OF THE WORLD We live and work in Northfield,
Vermont. Our backyard is the perfect testing ground to make the finest Premium
All Weather Performance Socks. We ski, snowboard, hike, bike and run in the
most unforgiving climate in the lower 48. It is under these conditions that we
design, test and manufacture our socks. STILL MADE IN VERMONT, USA After so
many decades why do we still knit every pair of our socks here in Vermont? We
don’t do it because it’s the easy thing to do—we do it because it’s the right
thing to do. We do it because for us, it’s the only way to do it. There are
faster and cheaper alternatives but nobody ever outsourced anything for
quality. ONE FAMILY - We are family owned. For 40 years we’ve been knitting
socks in the Green Mountains ONE MISSION - Darn Tough is a family-owned,
American manufacturer of end-use-specific socks. ONE MILL - Every step of the
knitting process happens right here, by us, locally, in Northfield, VT Read
