Dedicated to and inspired by the legendary 10th Mountain Division, the Beer Badge sock honors this alpine army division. Known for their heroics during WWII and contributions to the ski industry, this sock is about as close to buying these veterans a beer as you can get. Plus, the new THERMOLITE® ECOMADE synthetic fabric adds warmth, comfort, and durability for long days in the ski/ride boots.

Height: Over-the-Calf
Weight: Midweight
Pair with: Ski boots, snowboard boots, beer
Style Number: 8045
  • Men's over the calf socks average 17 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to cover the leg to just below the knee.
  • A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no boundaries. Here's to feeling connected and comfortable in your boots run after run.
  • Synthetic THERMOLITE® is a vegan option that is lightweight and insulating so your feet feel good.
  • Midweight Thermolite® synthetic socks insulate and protect feet run after run. Vegan friendly.
  • Reinforced Achilles cushion reduces heel lift, which helps socks feel better on and last season to season.
  • We close every toe seam using our True Seamless™ Toe technology for an ultra smooth, undetectable feel.
  • The “still” in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can't imagine it any other way.
  • Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren’t the longest lasting socks you’ve ever owned, return them for another pair.

Fantastic socks! Exactly the fit

"Fantastic socks! Exactly the fit I and warmth I expected from Darn Tough!"

— Dean C. (5/5)

First time buyer. Honestly… I

"First time buyer. Honestly… I thought they would be warmer."

— Gary T. (4/5)

Amazing as always.

"Amazing sock. Super warm, super comfortable. Darn tough socks are legitimately the best socks money can buy. I will say that this snowboarding sock seems to be exceptionally tall. I have some other darn tough snowboarding socks and they are not quite as tall. This one actually goes up to my knees and I probably could pull it over my knees! So if you got long legs, this is the sock for you."

— Benjamin P. (5/5)

Can’t go wrong with these socks

"Best socks around hands down. Walk multiple miles in them everyday for work with no issue. Fitment of the socks worked great. Everything came as advertised and works as expected. The seamless toes are an excellent feature. Great for all types of people, new or experienced, everyone would benefit from these socks. Buy as many as you can and never look at another brand of sock. Would buy again and again."

— Katie N. (5/5)

Great warm socks for skiing.

These were a gift, recipient

"These were a gift, recipient was happy with them."

— jeanne h. (5/5)

Awesome socks

"Fit and feel was fantastic. I used them with MX boots during a recent ADV riding trip and never felt hot or cold. Stayed up the whole time which is something I sometimes struggle with because of large calves. Great around the campsite as well. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the market. Seem like the longevity will be good as well but I can’t truly say yet. I’ll be ordering more in different sizes in the near future."

— Ian g. (5/5)

Love 'em!

"Love 'em!"

— Scott P. (5/5)

One Of My Go To Pair

"Great fit! Even better design on them and I love the old school color combination of the stripes. All around, one of my go to pair. Cushion is just right in my boot for all day wear."

— Michael T. (4/5)
