The Darn Tough Men’s Hiker Quarter Midweight Cushion Sock (Style 1959) in Rye is a men’s quarter-height hiking sock with midweight cushion density under the foot — a warm, comfortable platform when conditions demand it. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes during back-to-back trail days.
The knit — 59% Merino Wool, 38% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex — runs merino-heavy for moisture wicking and temperature regulation across cool mornings and warm afternoons, while the nylon percentage carries the sock through brush contact and repeated boot wear. The quarter height sits just above the shoe collar of low-cut hikers — enough shaft to clear the boot without running up the shin. Rye is a warm golden-tan colorway that pairs with brown boots, olive pants, and every earth-tone layering system.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its lifetime guarantee.
