Darn Tough or Point6 — two lifetime sock guarantees, one important difference

Darn Tough and Point6 both sell US-made merino socks around the same price and both say lifetime. We read the current claim pages to find the useful difference: Darn Tough invites the worn pair back; Point6 covers premature wear and keeps discretion over credit, refund or exchange.

The sock that mails back its own replacement — merino wool (Darn Tough, Northfield VT)

The third and final record on the Worn & carried shelf: the sock. We follow a merino wool sock backed by Darn Tough's unconditional lifetime guarantee — the name knit in, no receipt required — show why its cost-per-year runs toward zero, weigh darning against a guarantee, and settle the question the shelf left open: whether the most disposable thing you wear can be the least disposable. Three of three. The spine is complete.
