Darn tough socks

[Porter2]

Try this again. Didn’t go through first time.

I like their light and mid weight socks. They come with this elastic band which is useful for spare fly reel holder and fly spool holder. Also decorative jewelry

I also like their socks. I use the over the calf mountaineering ones as my wading socks.

Pricey, but the best socks you can buy. Extremely durable and comfortable. Lifetime guarantee. American made.

 

[Mossback]

Lifetime guarantee.

Like Sage ?

Like Sage ?

No...an actual lifetime guarantee regardless of cause.

Either way, I am trying a pair as I can ruin a pair of socks faster than most.

I've got velociraptor toenails and I've yet to punch through a Darn Tough sock. They're the only socks I'll wear.

Darn Tough socks are too itchy for such wear. I much prefer Patagonia socks for that particular application.

I just went to their site.
one pair $30
two pair $63
WTF?

Yeah it’s darn tough on the wallet for a pair. I usually only buy when on sale. REI has sales from time to time. Still expensive.

Very same sentiment I experience when looking at or using my Sage flyrod....though at least the socks, unlike the Sage, don't fall apart with minimal use.

Ok...just gonna throw out a little shopping tip.
Order one pair, twice = $60
Order two pair option = $63

Marc Cabot, the fellow who started and owns the company is a diehard Atlantic Salmon fisherman. Spent some time fishing with him at Ted Williams camp on the Miramachi a few years ago. When he got started making socks in Northfield Vt the first thing he did was give a pair to everyone entered in the Boston Marathon that year and the brand just took off from there. Smart guy. Can't cast but a smart guy.

They must have been on sale. I bought a pair at an outdoor shop in Escalante when I was hiking there in April. Good socks. More comfortable than the other hiking and backpacking specific socks I have.

Don't be using that fancy aritmetic around these parts.

Interesting, Smartwool uses those exact same elastic bands. They’re great pony tail scrunchies for my little girl

Northfield VT has an annual Darn Tough sale, just a warehouse full of cardboard boxes of socks and locals loading up on them. They are the only socks I have that still look and function great, 10 years later.

My FIL is a big fan of Darn Tough socks. I have about 4 pair now that I’ve gotten for Xmas over the years. I like them. I don’t need any more. Especially being as they last so darn long. They are warm, even the lighter weight ones. I still like thinner socks and even cotton socks for day to day use. I run hot.
