Darn Tough Micro Crew Ultra-Lightweight Running, No Cushion

Darn Tough Ultralightweight Socks Review

For the thinnest, least absorbent, quickest drying option, pull on the Darn Tough Ultralightweight Socks. This no-cushion model is as thin as they come, and making them some of the very best hiking socks for warm weather when paired with a comfortable, well-fitted trail running shoe. The blend of 52% nylon maintains high durability relative to their thinness, while 42% merino offers moisture wicking anti bacterial benefits. The 6% lycra ensure a secure fit.

Zonal mesh panels on the upper foot further increase breathability, while underfoot is wrapped in a more durable knit. Darn Tough describes these as a next-to-skin profile, and we would second that. They are thin and form perfectly around the foot without adding any extra bulk. Thus they are also a great sock to pair with any shoe that fits a tad small. The seams on the toe box are as thin and unnoticeable as the rest of the sock. And Darn Tough guarantees them for life – extra important on thin ultralight socks which are structurally more prone to wearing out.
