Darn Tough Vermont RFL Thermolite OTC Ultra-Lightweight Hiking Socks for Men & Women - Moisture Wicking & Temperature Regulating for Outdoor Adventures, Running & Travel

Linus talked about this brand of sock on the WAN Show a few weeks ago and he said that these are some great socks that last a long time and that they may be expensive but they are worth it. On his recommendation i thought i would give them a try even though one pair cost more than a 6 pack of a brand that i have purchased before that i know are also really good and hold up quite well (so far).ive only worn them a few times but they are comfy and stay up and they look and feel like they will last a long time. i once was a gold toe wearer, i still have a couple pairs that i got about 15 years ago and still no holes and the tops are not all stretched out, they have only faded in color over the years, BUT i picked up a few new pairs of gold toe socks about 6 months ago and about half of them (3 out of 6 socks not pairs) have holes in them. i was very disappointed. Lets hope Linus is correct and this brand is just as good if not better than the old Gold Toe socks.if anyone from Darn Tough design team are seeing this PLEASE make more designs and colors in the regular type socks (not the snow boarding styles) would love some flashy designs and colors for the thinner more everyday type of sock.
