"Obviously as our neighbors just down the road here in Vermont, we have been hugely supportive of the Darn Tough Socks product line and were one of their very first accounts. However, it quickly became apparent this was no ordinary sock company. Customers recognised the superior quality, comfort and long-lasting sturdiness of all the DarnTough socks made for cross country skiing, backcountry-telemark touring, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, running and more", explains Catherine Case, ORS Cross Country Skis Direct Consumer Relations and Sales Director. "We've been hearing for years from customers how they'd love to see a line of Darn Tough women's lifestyle socks to fit categories beyond fitness exercise, such as women's dress socks, travel socks, lifestyle socks and work socks. Well the company definitely listened, and the new women's collection of merino wool casual socks is the result. We are delighted to be offering these to our customers, many of whom have been Darn Tough Socks fans and supporters for years."
