The Darn Tough Style 1972 Men’s Light Hiker Micro Crew Lightweight Cushion Sock is a fine-gauge merino wool sock knit with light cushion density under the foot. The reduced cushion makes it a warm-weather hiking sock — less insulation, more breathability, less bulk inside a trail shoe or low-top boot. True Seamless toe construction removes the typical toe seam.
Micro crew height sits just above the ankle for protection against debris without getting in the way of shorts or pants, and the Denim colorway a traditional mid-blue for casual rotation. The 54% Nylon / 43% Merino Wool / 3% Lycra blend shifts the wool content slightly lower than the midweight line, which is why this sock dries faster and breathes better for summer backpacking, trail running, and day hikes in warmer climates.
Darn Tough is family-owned and still knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont. The lifetime guarantee covers this pair, every pair.
