The Darn Tough Men’s Light Hiker 1/4 Lightweight Cushion Hiking Sock (Style 1991) in Space Gray is a men’s hiking sock with a thin cushion layer along the base of the foot — light and strong, with versatile underfoot padding for day hikes and approach routes. The quarter-height shaft sits just above the ankle — the just-right height that’s fast and light, tall enough to clear low-cut hikers and running shoes, short enough to stay out of the way on long stretches of trail. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam bump at the toes across long trail days.
The technical knit blends merino wool, nylon, and Lycra spandex so the merino handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through warm summer hikes, while the nylon carries the sock through repeated shoe-friction wear and the spandex keeps the cuff locked up the ankle. Space Gray is a deep cool-toned men’s outdoor colorway that pairs cleanly with every trail kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
