The Darn Tough Men’s Light Hiker 1/4 Lightweight Cushion Hiking Sock (Style 1991) in Beige/Taupe 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 knit — 52% Nylon, 44% Merino Wool, 4% Lycra Spandex — leans nylon for durability against repeated shoe-friction wear, while the merino percentage handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through warm summer hikes. The 4% Lycra Spandex keeps the cuff locked up the ankle so the sock stays put across sustained climbs. Beige/Taupe is a warm earth-tone men’s outdoor colorway that pairs with brown boots and neutral trail kits.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
