The DTVS have been a great addition to my winter cycling gear.
Exciting to hear! I want some too!

Got my socks yesterday and I wore them this morning! I must say they are some pretty Darn Tough Socks! I got the cushion 1/4 socks in the wool. COMFY! They make my SPD shoes feel awesome on my feet!

I'm wearing some right now too - 3/4, lightly padded. Warm on my feet.

I might have to buy more of them. They are sooo comfy! Just for everyday socks! Where's the best place to buy them online?

Amazon. I got some crew for around 12 bucks. The low cut ones are a little cheaper.

I think they were pushing to get into more REI stores, but you may find them in your local camping/outdoor shops. Or see if there is a store locator on their website. (I should know if there is or not, but I'm too tired to remember or even check)

Cozy socks for everyone!

As far as the $22 pair, keep in mind that they do have a genuine lifetime guarantee. They are indeed "darn tough".
