Over a quarter century ago a mill was opened and began making socks in Northfield, Vermont. Frigid winters and humid summers taught the manufacturers that all socks are not created equally. Living in the most unforgiving climate in the lower 48, their socks had to be tough and of course they certainly had to keep feet dry. Whether skiing, hiking, biking, or running, feet adorned with Darn Tough socks were oblivious to the elements. Time moves on. Technology advances. Innovations follow. Over the years, their performance socks have been tweaked and modified to perfection. Just over a year ago Darn Tough Vermont was launched, The Premium All Weather Performance Sock, and dare we say, the toughest sock on the market, knit here, in the same mill in Northfield. As a 3rd generation sock guy, the owner can tell you that what has kept his family in the sock business, in America, is the pursuit of quality. To date, DARN TOUGH VERMONT, is the culmination of those efforts. It's a brand uniquely created around a single, fine gauge needle, which means all their socks, from the Mesh running sock, to the over-the-calf Full Cushion ski sock, fit your foot exactly the same. It's custom counts of Merino wool and an exclusive blend of Coolmax® which makes their socks incredibly strong and comfortable. And It's all about the knitting. Three generations of knitting know-how means, well, we know how. In an era of outsourcing and corporate takeovers, we are still true to our roots. Family owned and run, in Vermont, since 1978. In a word, local. Their experience is our reputation. As we like to say, "We know socks, we wear 'em year round."™
