Review: Fantastic Socks, But Pricey - The Darn Tough Hiker Socks are an amazing product—I've never had a blister, and they're my go-to socks for both hiking and daily wear. They provide great comfort, support, warmth and durability. The only downside is that they are a bit expensive, but considering the quality and performance, they're definitely worth the investment!
Review: Amazing Quality - Extremely comfortable and wear incredibly well. The marketing says you can do multi day wear... 2 days is my limit but they breathe so well my feet stay warm but don't sweat so the socks don't smell. Used them to go on long hikes that would've previously had my feet in bits and they kept my feet protected. Love them.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is Merino Wool itchy or soft?**
A: Merino Wool is incredibly soft, its fibres are 1/3 the diameter of a human hair, making them more flexible and supple. When pressed against your skin, they’ll bend to provide a delightfully soft touch rather than being itchy and irritating.

**Q: Is Merino Wool suitable for all seasons?**
A: Merino Wool is versatile across seasons, keeping feet dry, breathable and comfortable in summer's heat and offering insulation during colder seasons.

**Q: What's the lifespan of Merino Wool?**
A: Darn Tough Socks are produced with a blend of Merino Wool, Nylon and Lycra Spandex to create a resilient performance fabric that lasts forever. We stand behind this blend with a life time pledge.

**Q: Is Merino Wool moisture wicking?**
A: Merino Wool is moisture wicking and naturally pulls perspiration away from your skin. It maintains its ability to insulate and keep your feet warm even after it gets wet, making it ideal for managing sweat and regulating body temperature.

**Q: Is Merino Wool Thermoregulating?**
A: Yes, Merino Wool is naturally thermoregulating, helping to keep your feet comfortable in varying temperatures. It provides warmth in the cold and remains breathable and cool in the heat
