The Darn Tough Men’s Light Hiker Micro Crew Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1972) in Neptune is a men’s micro crew 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 back-to-back trail days.
The knit — 54% Nylon, 43% Merino Wool, 3% Lycra Spandex — runs nylon-leaning for durability against trail debris and repeated boot-friction wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through cool mornings and warm afternoons. The micro crew height sits just above the ankle — the standard rise for low-cut hikers and trail runners. Neptune is a deep marine-blue colorway that pairs with every trail kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its unconditional lifetime guarantee.
