Darn Tough Vermont Men's Light Hiker Micro Crew Socks - Space Gray, XL (Style 1972)

All-Weather Comfort for the Trail

When you test a sock on long miles, you notice the difference between something adequate and something you forget you’re wearing. The Darn Tough Light Hiker Micro Crew is built for hikers who want a reliable partner for day trips and multiday treks alike. A thin, yet robust cushion sits under the foot, delivering a soft landing with each step while a smooth, performance fit prevents slipping, bunching, and hot spots.

Smart Materials, Real-World Performance

Made with a fast-wicking blend, this Merino wool sock pulls moisture away from skin, so feet stay drier as you hike. The knit uses 54% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool, and 3% Lycra Spandex, creating a balance of durability, warmth, and stretch. Merino fibers are breathable and fast-drying, helping feet feel cooler on warm days and warmer when temperatures drop.

Design Details for Comfort

The True Seamless technology delivers an ultra-smooth, invisible feel where the sock meets the skin. The micro crew height peeks over the top of many hiking boots, providing a low-profile look with solid coverage.
