Darn Tough designed the On-Mountain Merino Wool Nordic Ultra Light Ski Socks for Nordic skate and classic boots. These below-the-calf wool socks have elastic support around the arch and ribbing above the ankle so they don't bunch and wrinkle. Nylon and a reinforced heel and toe make these socks durable—in fact, Darn Tough guarantees them for life. Even though they're ultra light, these socks insulate and wick perspiration, so your feet will stay dry whether you take a snack break or work hard.

Bottom Line: Nordic ski or skate ski in your Darn Tough Merino Wool Nordic Ultra Light Socks.

Used these when I did some touring in fresh snow. Snow got all over my boots, and in, too, and my feet stayed warm, but not over-heated, dry and comfortable the whole time. These are thin, but they work great. Get 'em while they last!

I bought these socks for my son who nordic races so I'm not sure if I have any criticism quite yet. One of the reasons I did buy them was their lifetime guarantee and the fact that they hold odor supposedly. So I'll have to wait for next season to give you a full report.

nordic darn tuff socks are for more than just skiing

By:

I have found these socks (I use the black ones) last longer for several use types than any other sock. They have a durability and an elasticity that makes them useful from semi-dress when I must wear black socks in the slushy Chicago weather to football in the mud to skiing as well. They have moderate padding but are warm and conform to my foot architecture for quite a long time.

Groovy Socks!

By:

I love these socks!! They're my new obsession for outdoor gear. I have both the skiing and the Nordic Boot Ultra Lights. These solved my blister problem for both snowboarding and cross country skiing. A thin, soft sock that keeps my feet warm even in those single digit temp. days. They've been washed so much, but they never get scratchy. Cozy every time. I guess they guarantee them for life because they can; they never wear out! These are soooooooooo worth the purchase!

STINKY FEET? NOT A PROBLEM!!!

By: Backcountry.com Employee
October 31, 2006

So I have been unable to put another pair of socks on since I tried these on. They are the most comfortable breathable socks that I have ever had. My feet usually stink by the end of a long day but after three consecutive days of wearing the only pair of darn tough socks that I have my feet still don't stink! It is great. I need more.
