The Darn Tough Women’s Light Hiker Quarter Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1987) in Cosmic Purple is a women’s quarter-height hiking sock with a light cushion layer along the footbed — gentle rebound underfoot without bulk inside the shoe. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during long days on trail.
The knit — 52% Nylon, 44% Merino Wool, 4% Lycra Spandex — runs nylon-leaning for durability against trail debris and repeated boot-friction wear, while the merino percentage regulates temperature and wicks moisture across cool mornings and warm afternoons. The quarter height sits just above the shoe collar of low-cut hikers — enough shaft to clear the boot without running up the shin. Cosmic Purple is a rich deep-purple colorway that adds color contrast to a gear kit full of gray and earth tones.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
