The Darn Tough Women's Hiker 1/4 Sock Cushion Sock excels everywhere from casual walks through the forest to backpacking trips in the mountains. As its name suggests, the Hiker 1/4 Cushion Sock is designed for the dedicated hiker and sits low to prevent overheating on the trail. Merino wool fibers actively wick moisture to keep feet from being overly hot and sweaty, as well as naturally preventing the build-up of odor-causing microbes. Additionally, the sock's fine gauge knitting increases the durability and the True Seamless design makes it unbelievably smooth on your feet.
