What do you mean by that?

In my experience, Darn Tough do not fall under the "super soft" category you were going for. They're legitimately durable tho.

After wearing them all day, let us know which ones weren't a relief to take off.

Very true, but you're still out shipping so it's best to keep those intervals as long as possible

Do they shrink/tighten up after being washed at all? They feel a little big before washing. I definitely like the way they fit though

I second this.I usually went through one metal or one wooden shovel per winter, but the plastic fiskar ones seem to be the most sturdy. I've had it for 5+ years now

I love Paka. Softest socks I’ve ever owned

I use a wide mouth Nalgene as well. I recently washed it in the shower with me (along with my underwear but that’s off topic).

I use the cloud line ones you have on the right for running in cooler weather, I like them a lot.

For deep snow, this is my go to: https://m.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200852928_200852928?cm_mmc=Bing-pla&cmpid=53403383&agid=3200075896&tgtid=pla-4577404351440398&prdid=99161&ogmap=SHP%7cPLA%7cBING%7cSTND%7cm%7cSITEWIDE%7c%7cGrounds%20Maintenance%20-%20SC%7cGrounds%20Maintenance-%20SC%7c%7c53403383%7c3200075896&msclkid=c6ebe2c204c1174a6c1d811f86b98bbb&gclsrc=ds

I have several pair of Darn Tough that I've had for a few years now. I wash in cold and dry in low heat. No abnormal sign of wear so far.

Comparing that to Smart Wool that I've had for about as long and almost all have worn through the heel.

Well, given that i just recommended a seemingly unkillable bluetooth speaker from them, logitech seems to have their stuff together.

Thought about it. I’ll eventually try them.

Good thing they have a lifetime warranty then haha

One of these for light snow as a pusher and a steel shovel when its heavy and you have to scoop!

The shrinking isn't the problem, they'll just start falling apart

This is going to be a tough one. I tried a bunch of them a decade back and they all sucked and failed shortly. If anyone has a modern recommendation I’ll try it.

Agree with this. Not great for scooping/tossing snow, but wonderful for clearing 3-4 inches quicker than a snowblower.

Why not? They're usually pre-shrunk so that's not an issue.

Fiskars

Metal and wood. Anything else is trash.

No Darn Tough?

Is anything not hand washable?

Good, might get some of em out and doing their own yards for the poor delivery people

Just an obligatory reminder: if they're wool don't put them in the dryer
