A new addition to the Light Hiker collection is the 1/4 Sock. Modest enough for a Victorian aristocrat, and equally familiar with expansive views, these ankle-covering socks offer a smooth cuff, comfortable fit, and lightweight functionality that truly endures. Cushion extending up the Achilles adds targeted comfort and enhances the durability we guarantee for life.
Height: QuarterMachine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.
We make one thing, and we make it better than anyone else – ask any thru hiker and you will likely hear the same. In order to unconditionally guarantee a hiking sock for life, it must be durable. It must maintain its comfort, and it has to fit for miles upon miles on-trail. The socks that do return through warranty inform how we can improve. And we do. Our guarantee is a promise to you, but it’s a standard for us. We have yet to produce our best sock, but we get better with every step.

"Not just for women! Size Small fits our 12-year-old son who likes the height and (at least one) of the colorways. I believe Women's S and M are in the range of Kids L and Mens XS (where available). Use the euro sizing to help you compare!"

"Great hiking sock. Just high enough that rocks or dirt won’t get into your sock. And not so tall that you’ll have bad sock tan lines. Perfect weight for summer, spring and fall hiking. Comfort is unmatched. Darn tough socks are the only socks I’ll hike in."
