Darn Tough Men's Close Encounters Micro Crew Midweight Hiking Socks

Built for the trail. Ready for whatever's out there.

Whether you're bagging peaks or keeping an eye out for something a little more unexplained, the Close Encounters has you covered. Merino wool thermoregulates as the temperature shifts so your feet stay comfortable no matter what the mountain throws at you. Midweight construction is the all-season sweet spot — warm enough for cold mornings, breathable enough when things heat up. Smooth 1x1 ribbed cuff, reinforced Achilles support, and True Seamless™ Toe keep everything dialed in from the first step to the last.

No slipping. No bunching. No blisters. Bigfoot-approved. Probably.

Still made in Vermont. Still guaranteed for life. If these aren't the longest lasting socks you've ever owned, send them back for a new pair. No questions asked.
