Darn Tough hiker socks

Why it's on the list

Thin cotton goes flat, stays damp, and sandpapers the skin. A merino hiker sock keeps some structure after a day on a bike. People who have done the week keep naming Darn Tough for that. Bring more pairs than days. The maker says they replace a pair that wears out. That is their claim.

How we use it

The link opens on medium. Other sizes are on the menu. Pick yours before you check out. Bag the clean pairs. The pair you biked in does not go back on tomorrow.

Heads up

A sock is not a fix for a shoe that already hurts at home. Break the shoes in first. Moleskin still goes on the hot spot the hour you feel it.
