My new go-to - Darn Tough 1/4 Light Sock - Mens

Ive used a variety of socks for training, hiking, and backpacking. My past favorite and go-to sock (from different brand) has now been replaced by these. Granted, I don't have a ton of miles on these but have been wearing them daily in preparation for PCT thru-hike for months now and feel I have enough perspective so as to highly recommend them for above-mentioned activities. I find myself wanting to wear them for casual use too but want to keep them 'fresh' for my hike. I can see myself getting 500+ miles on each pair when compared to other socks Ive used for years with same wool and synthetic %. I wear gaiters for most of the backpacking I do so the available colors don't matter since they're covered, but I wish Darn Tough would offer some lighter colors nonetheless, especially for us desert dwellers.
