These $25 Darn Tough hiking socks are now under $9 at REI

Huge savings on Darn Tough hiking socks.

Break out your hiking boots, grab your backpack, and fill up your water bottle, because warm summer weather means we’re due for plenty of time in the great outdoors. But, before you head out for your next adventure, you may want to consider investing in a new pair of hiking socks to help keep you cool.

Fortunately, REI quietly dropped the price on a pair of breathable Light Hiker Micro Crew Socks from Darn Tough that are just what you need for your next adventure. Right now, you can score a pair of these top-tier hiking socks for just under $9, saving you just shy of 60% off the original price.

These taupe-colored socks are neutral enough to go with everything, and they’re ready to go anywhere. They have light cushioning, with a minimal layer of cushioning on the base of the foot. Despite having less volume than a standard hiking sock, they’re strong and sturdy. The Micro Crew socks are a little bit shorter than your everyday crew sock, but they’re still tall enough to provide just the right amount of padding to protect the Achilles.

The socks are fully seamless, so you’ll never have to worry about annoying seams, slipping, or bunching. They’re made from finely knit merino wool, so they’re naturally temperature regulating and moisture-wicking: they’ll keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plus, wool has antimicrobial properties, too.

If you have an REI location nearby you can certainly pick up a pair of these must-have socks in store, but they’re also available online. REI offers free shipping on orders over $60, so if you’re thinking about stocking up on supplies for outdoor adventures anyway, you can add a pair to your cart — at just under $9 each, you’ll want to grab a pair before they disappear.
