The Darn Tough Men’s ATC Micro Crew Midweight Cushion Sock (Style 1956) in Eclipse is a men’s hiking and all-terrain sock with a midweight cushion layer — denser than lightweight running socks, thinner than heavyweight winter socks — for day hikes, trail miles, and colder-weather wear inside low-cut hikers. The micro-crew shaft peeks just above the top of a hiking shoe, keeping debris out without riding up the calf. True Seamless toe construction closes the front of the sock smoothly so there’s no seam rubbing across long trail days.
The merino wool knit handles moisture wicking and temperature regulation through cold morning starts and warm afternoon climbs — the kind of swing that overheats synthetic-only socks and soaks cotton. The midweight cushion density adds underfoot comfort against rocky trails and packed dirt without bulking up the fit inside a hiking shoe. Eclipse is the deep blue-black colorway with a subtle two-tone treatment.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
