What are the Gatewoods?
Tough, versatile and incredibly comfortable. The Gatewoods are built to take a beating from just about anything you can throw at them - from multi-day trekking, to long alpine days, to summer evenings round the campfire. We've had the Gatewoods in our range for a couple of years now and they fast became one of our favourites.
Despite the slightly cheesy name these socks are amazing! What makes the Darn Tough socks so different and so durable is the way they are constructed. Every sock is made with an incredibly high loop stitch count which produces more cushioned loops per square inch than any other sock. Not only does this provide supreme cushioning, but because the loops are so densely packed they cannot flatten and shear under use. This is how Darn Tough has managed to offer a lifetime guarantee on every sock which states:
“If our socks are not the most comfortable, durable and best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair, or your money back. No strings. No conditions. For life.”
What are they made of?
These sublime socks are made from a mixture of 67% Merino wool, 30% Nylon and 3% Lycra. The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true work horse that is supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying. Merino wool has a natural ability to repel bacteria, so you can wear these socks for days before you need to wash them. This all-weather sock stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
How cushioned are they?
The Gatewoods have high density cushioning throughout the entire sock for full on comfort and performance.
What are the features?
The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching and blistering and they are a calf height with a supportive and comfortable cuff that isn’t too tight. They are perfect for all walking and mountaineering boots. Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams and increases comfort.
