My socks are better than yours
[Trigger warning: if you’re afraid of holes, look away!]
This sock right here is from a pair of Darn Tough socks:
As you can see, yes, it has a hole. In itself, it’s not remarkable. All socks develop holes at some point. But this sock deserves a bio:
- Bought it in 2016 (along with 2 other pairs) for a thru-hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, a 4,260km trail down the West Coast of USA.
- I hiked for 5 months through sand, gravel, soil, snow, and multiple water crossings.
- After putting them through so much, I still used them for 9 more years without a hole!
If these aren’t bombproof, I don’t know what is! Even better, Darn Tough has a lifetime guarantee and they’ll just…replace your damaged pair with a new one. (Which is what I’ll be doing!)
