Men's Backwoods Over-the-Calf Lightweight Ski & Snowboard Sock-Last Chance


This Sock Is No Longer Available. Discontinued 2024.

Inspired and designed with legendary Vermont snowboarder and backcountry wizard, Jake Blauvelt, the Backwoods Over-the-Calf sock delivers both underfoot and shin comfort in a boot thanks to added terry loop cushion. With bolstered durability and Vermont-inspired looks, you may never ride as well as Jake, but you can wear the same socks (for life) —and that's something.

Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle with socks inside-out. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not dry clean. You can learn more about how to wash merino wool socks here.

Dry, pain free, best socks

"Bought these socks for a 6 day ski trip in Utah. I wore them everyday and they were comfortable, warm, and pain free. The best socks I've ever purchased. I used to have heel pain with my boots but have not had any issues since using these socks (not sure if it is related)."

Little less cushion than your

"Little less cushion than your average ski/ snowboard sock. I have shorter legs so they are a bit long on me."
