Darn Tough Mountaineering Sock Review

I just did a gear review for the Darn Tough Mountaineering Sock. It's a bit out of season now, but may still be useful for climbers heading to objectives like Denali.

Darn Tough Mountaineering Socks Gear Review

• Note: These socks were provided by Darn Tough in a partnership with my company, Alpine Existence Climbing Guides.

Isn't the guiding season about to get in full swing for popular peaks like Rainier, Shasta and other pacific NW peaks. Your review should be right on time for some people.

I'm a flat lander who takes vacation time to attempt peaks when I get the chance. I got lucky and purchased the darn tough mountaineering socks after the smartwool ones didn't stay up on my calf. I think they are awesome, for what it's worth.

Mike, you're right it's great timing for some of the higher elevation summer mountaineering objectives. I had similar issues with SmartWool expedition weight socks and find that the Darn Tough socks don't slip down the calf and bunch up. Hope you like your socks too!

I have thoroughly enjoyed darn tough socks for many seasons now. I don't wear smartwool anymore, needless to say.

I don't have problems with the slippage, or the heels wearing out as quickly, and they stay softer longer.

Enjoy

They will also replace any sock you wear out. I like mine and have a few tyoes

Maurice,

I thought you meant that you haven't lost all of your toes yet which would be a fine example of damning with faint praise.
