I had to do a review of my newest favorite obsession....Darn Tough Socks. A sock made from Merino wool that is touted as being comfortable in any environment and just as good-looking at work or on the mountain. Merino wool is a durable, natural fiber that keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Merino wool wicks moisture away from your skin and it dries very quickly. Merino wool is naturally anti-microbial which means you can wear merino wool socks for days on end without them getting that funky workout smell. I was skeptical.
I am willing to try anything to find my perfect travel gear. So, I took the plunge and bought two pairs to test and review. Darn Tough makes men's/women's/kid's socks for hiking, running, biking, skiing/riding, hunting, and everyday use.

WHAT I LIKE
THE COMFORT... Imagine the best feeling ever... They are truly comfortable socks and whether you’re hiking in heat or rain or wearing them at work in the winter or summer, your feet stay happy.
THE GUARANTEE... Darn Tough Socks come with a “lifetime guarantee”. Simply wash and mail in your defeated socks with a warranty form printed from the Darn Tough website and await your fresh new pair of socks. Darn Tough Warranty Form.
THE COLORS... I love the colors available. It's weird, but I have received compliments on my socks...and that has never happened...until I started wearing Darn Tough Socks. I have become a fan and it is interesting that people have noticed my socks. Plus, I am getting a great quality product.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
THE PRICE... “Seventeen dollars for a pair of socks!?” A typical reaction I get when I tell people the price of Darn Toughs. But they are worth it. The socks are manufactured domestically in Vermont and I always support (when I can) companies that make their products in the good old US of A.
WHAT I HAVE FOUND
Darn Tough socks are amazing. I have now purchased five pairs of these amazing socks. Comfort is great, no odor, durability, and a lifetime warranty...I never have to buy socks again. I highly recommend Darn Tough Socks for travel (multiple wears with no wash), for hiking, for work, for anything...do yourself a favor and get a pair...you won’t regret it.
