The Darn Tough Men’s Function 5 Over-the-Calf Padded Cushion Ski Sock (Style 1811) in Black is a midweight men’s ski sock with mid-level cushion density under the foot and True Seamless toe construction that closes the front of the sock smoothly inside a rigid ski boot. The over-the-calf shaft climbs past the boot cuff and locks the sock in place through long runs.
The knit — 66% Merino Wool, 31% Nylon, 3% Lycra Spandex — leans heavy on merino for temperature regulation through cold chairlift rides and warmer lodge breaks, with the nylon percentage handling durability under aggressive ski boot wear. The spandex keeps the leg fit firm enough that the sock doesn’t slide inside the boot liner mid-run. Black is the workhorse men’s colorway that pairs with every ski kit.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and backs them with an unconditional lifetime guarantee.
