The Darn Tough Women’s Light Hiker Quarter Lightweight Cushion Sock (Style 1987) in Cascade is a women’s quarter-height 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 — 52% Nylon, 44% Merino Wool, 4% Lycra Spandex — runs nylon-leaning for durability against trail debris and repeated boot-friction wear, and the merino percentage regulates temperature and wicks moisture across cool mornings and warm afternoons. The quarter height sits just above the shoe collar of low-cut hikers — enough shaft to clear the boot without running up the shin. Cascade is a soft blue-green colorway that brings a lighter note to a gear drawer full of earth tones.
Darn Tough knits every pair in Northfield, Vermont and replaces any pair that wears, tears, or develops holes under its lifetime guarantee.
