Reviews

Used for one season and love it

"I really like these ski socks. They’re a comfortable midweight with just the right amount of cushioning without feeling bulky inside my boots. They fit well over the calf, stay in place throughout the day, and provide a nice balance of warmth, comfort, and moisture management while skiing. They also appear to be very well made, with quality materials and construction. I’ve only used them for one ski season, though, so I can’t really comment on long-term durability or longevity yet. Overall, they’ve been a great addition to my ski gear."

"First time buyer. Honestly… I thought they would be warmer."

— Gary T. (4/5)

Amazing as always.

"Amazing sock. Super warm, super comfortable. Darn tough socks are legitimately the best socks money can buy. I will say that this snowboarding sock seems to be exceptionally tall. I have some other darn tough snowboarding socks and they are not quite as tall. This one actually goes up to my knees and I probably could pull it over my knees! So if you got long legs, this is the sock for you."

— Benjamin P. (5/5)

Can’t go wrong with these socks

"Best socks around hands down. Walk multiple miles in them everyday for work with no issue. Fitment of the socks worked great. Everything came as advertised and works as expected. The seamless toes are an excellent feature. Great for all types of people, new or experienced, everyone would benefit from these socks. Buy as many as you can and never look at another brand of sock. Would buy again and again."

— Katie N. (5/5)
