The jury was out for a while but the verdict is in.......darn tough socks are probably the best socks on the planet. They beat the crap out of smart wool that's for sure. My smart wool socks have some holes in them which surprised me and they are occasionally a bit hot.

The Vermont brand is several years old now and they still look like the day I bought them. Impressive........on the other hand they better or the company may have to change its name, they have a lifetime warranty against wear. I have never heard of such a thing for a pair of socks.

In any event, they are so comfy I am slowly switching out my regular dress/casual socks to darn tough. Besides, I like the name  ;).........they're Not just for tripping........

Yup they are a wee bit pricey. But you buy them once, that's a deal ill take every time.

Quite a bit of material in the review dept. concerning smart wool vs darn tough. Not much of a contest IMO.
