Darn Tough Ski Socks

[Mantequilla270]

i love my darn toughs, nice and thin but very soft. was lucky enough to get a free pair at a movie premier sponsored by them

the DT casual socks are fantastic also. Really comfortable, wick moisture, no signs of wear after a year or so of moderate use.

Motherfucking right. DTs everyday.

Wrightsock is all i wear now, great if you have blister problem feet.

I bought a pair of DT Ultra Lights and while they are reasonably comfortable I prefer my Smartwools. They are softer overall, with a better fitting cuff. The DT’s seams in the toe were also kind of annoying.

I love DT's for everything except skiing. I actually think their ski socks kind of suck. I have two pairs, and neither of them are capable of staying in place over the course of the ski day. Whether I'm touring or riding lifts, the damn things fall down and end up bunched up around my calf (riding lifts) or ankle (touring).

I find FITS ski socks work well for me, although their QC has gone downhill over the last few years. They stay in place even when worn for multiple days in a row. I'm sad that the 3 remaining pairs I have from 2014 are finally getting too threadbare to use, they were the best ski socks I've owned.

Smartwool sucks donkey dick. Their products have been of piss poor quality for more than a decade now. Truly resting on their laurels. Merino socks from Costco are higher quality and last longer.

DT does an annual 'seconds sale' if you have anyone in VT that can swing by their factory. I think it's in the fall, maybe coming up soon? The socks are fine and saves lots of $$. Usually cosmetic stuff.
Love them for running and casual use - like to try their thin ski socks some day.

[L8APX]

The RFL is still the best thin sock on the market IMO

What is the difference with the RFL and the other uncushioned super thin one?

The regular RFL has wool, the Themolite RFL is fully synthetic.

If you’re just talking their regular lightweight socks vs. the RFL, then the difference is that the RFL is really fucking light.

Ah….r.f.l.

I prefer the RFLs for resort, but use Dissent socks for touring. They stay in place a lot better while walking.

my calves werent big enough to keep DT socks up. dissent compressions socks for touring are primo (for me) though find them darn tough to get on. between them and zgtps im sweating before my skins are on.

DT socks have a weird cut that disagrees with the shape of my foot. I get bunched up fabric at the seams. I also hate the Dissent compressions I have - they make my feet cold. The Stance ultralight performance wool socks are my favorite. I'm also fine with zero cushion Smartwools.
