The top of the sock is un-cushioned to provide better ventilation making it equally good for cycling, Nordic walking & other fast paced activities. The sock has a smooth performance fit to reduce slipping, bunching & blistering & they have an ultra-low height so they hardly show.  Tongue & heel pads ensure they don’t disappear completely & make removal easier.  Comfort is further enhanced by the True Seamless construction which does away with bulky stitched seams & increases comfort. Despite the slightly cheesy name these socks are amazing!  What makes the Darn Tough socks so different & 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 & 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 & best fitting socks you have ever owned, return them for another pair, or your money back. No strings. No conditions. For life.” These sublime socks are made from a mixture of 51% Merino wool, 45% Nylon & 4% Lycra.  The fine gauge knitting makes this sock a true work horse that is supremely comfortable, breathable & 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 & warm in the winter. We have been using these socks for a while now & I have to say that they are the best socks I have ever used in over 30 years. ...

The Aero is a high quality, hot-forged solid gate carabiner with a strong gate open strength for extra safety. It features a shrouded keylock nose to reduce snagging when clipping & a rope groove to help direct any loads against the spine. This bent gate version is designed for the rope end of a quickdraw.   The carabiner is a good size for all-round use & has a nice wide gate opening, so that even clipping thick webbing is easy. The gate itself contains a deep bend that rolls into the nose to make clipping very easy
- even when you are pumped stupid miles above the last gear; at the same time the gate/nose intersection has been carefully designed so that the chances of the rope unclipping itself are minimised.  DMM also use a relatively strong spring pressure both to reduce the chances of gate flutter happening & also to reduce the chances of the rope unclipping itself when backclipped.
