damascus - lightweight technical 3/4 crew

Height: 3/4 Crew
 Weight: Lightweight
 

      Named for one of the most hiker-friendly towns anywhere along the  Appalachian Trail, the Damascus is the go-to sock for serious section-  and through-hikers. With our most advanced features and a fine-tuned  blend of cushioning and ventilation, this lightweight crew offers  superior comfort and moisture management thanks to super-fine  19.5-micron merino wool that naturally resists odor-causing bacterial  buildup. Targeted full-density padding provides blister protection  during big-mile trips, while US-only materials and construction  guarantee hard-wearing durability.      

• U.S. Merino Wool
  Merino wool is soft, itch-free, naturally odor- and  bacteria-resistant, cool in the summer and warm in winter. We source our  100% U.S. grown merino wool exclusively from sheep raised by American  farmers on American farms. 
• Hidden Nylon Plaiting
  Advanced construction that sandwiches stretch yarns  between two layers of body yarn, hidden nylon plaiting creates a smooth  exterior and a low-profile fit that is ideal for technical and sport  socks. A side benefit of this modern knitting technique is its ability  to incorporate complex patterns, open-weave zones, and intricate designs  for increased performance and extra style. 
• Targeted Cushion Zone
  Found primarily in our Snow Sport and Technical Hike  series, targeted cushioning adds shock-absorbing loop knit at key impact  areas of foot, shin & calf depending on designed use. Targeted  cushioning helps reduce impact from activities like skiing and hiking  while providing a better fit for ski boots and low-volume shoes. 
• Full-Density Cushioning
  Full-density cushioning features a terry knit loop on  every interior stitch, providing better insulation, exceptional  wicking, and increased protection against impact. Its faster moisture  absorption keeps the skin dry and reduces friction, while its  shock-absorbing nature enhances the performance of multi-sport and  outdoor socks. 
• Seamless Toe Closure
  Advanced knitting techniques create a totally flat  connection in the toe box, reducing bulk and eliminating  blister-generating friction. 
• Comfort Compression
  Circumferential compression from the top of the sock  through the arch creates a precise, comfortable fit that helps support  the foot throughout the day. 
• Durability Assured
  Reinforced construction and low-stress seam placement reduce wear and tear, increasing the life of the sock.
