Darn Tough Vermont men's Paul Bunyan OTC Midweight Full Cushion Sock, Timber, Large - Merino Wool, Lifetime Guarantee

Made in Northfield, Vermont, this midweight over-the-calf (OTC) sock combines 65% merino wool, 32% nylon, and 3% Lycra spandex to deliver breathable temperature regulation, purposeful stretch, and long-lasting structure. The Paul Bunyan pattern in Brown/Timber gives a classic outdoors look while the full cushion underfoot provides impact protection and extended comfort for multi-hour wear. Every pair is backed by Darn Tough’s unconditional lifetime guarantee—if they wear out, replacement is straightforward.

How does the midweight construction change feel and performance?

The midweight knit balances insulation and breathability so the sock works across seasons. It’s thicker than lightweight models for added padding, yet not bulky, letting footwear fit normally while offering impact protection under the foot.

• Full cushion underfoot for shock absorption and comfort on long days.
• Fine-gauge knit for a smooth interior and reduced bulk in shoes.
• Merino wool fiber helps regulate temperature and manage moisture.

Will this over-the-calf height stay up and protect from debris?

The OTC length is intended to cover the lower calf for coverage and protection from brush, snow, or boot rub. A secure knit and integrated Lycra ensure the sock maintains its position without excessive binding.

• Tall cuff reaches over the calf for added protection against elements.
• Stretch blend prevents sagging while allowing free movement.
• Seamless toe reduces irritation during prolonged wear.

How does the material mix affect durability and odor control?

Merino wool naturally resists odor and wicks moisture, while nylon adds abrasion resistance and Lycra preserves shape. Together they create a resilient sock that feels fresh longer and stands up to repeated use.

• 65% merino wool for softness and natural odor-management.
• 32% nylon for reinforced durability in high-wear zones.
• 3% Lycra spandex keeps the sock snug and maintains fit over time.

What does Darn Tough’s lifetime guarantee cover?

The unconditional lifetime warranty replaces socks that develop holes or wear through under normal use. The process is simple and reflects the brand’s confidence in its Vermont-built craftsmanship.

• Replaceable for holes, wear, or defects with no fine print.
• Applies to every pair made in Darn Tough’s Vermont mills.
• Contact Darn Tough customer service to initiate a replacement.
