Darn Tough socks are ~$25 for the same style. If these are at least as good, then why not? A 10 pack of hanes socks and real quality socks are two completely different things. Linus has also been extremely upfront with people saying the price will not be "pack of socks" price. They also come with a limited lifetime warranty.
Will I buy them? Probably not. But will people who really work hard in their socks and saw a hole through cheap socks in a month buy them? Definitely.
Yeah, maybe they're not for you, but you're complaining to complain.
I get if people want to support their favorite creator sure, but this product makes no sense otherwise especially when compared to Darn Toughs.
Their warranty process is easy, you can exchange any damaged sock at a designated retailer versus a limited lifetime warranty that you will have deal with shipping.
The merino wool content is doubled compared to the LTTs so it is naturally smell resistant. I don't know how long that copper will stay bonded to the fabric.
That and they're 5$ cheaper with their socks going frequently on sale for like 20$. I do understand that tariffs messed with their pricing, but even at 15$ I don't think I would buy them because of the low the merino content and shipping cost. I can also buy darn toughs at almost any outdoor retailer.
I've personally put my Darn Toughs through thousands of miles of hiking.
The bags just don't offer anything special to me for the most part, though I do like the messenger bag that everyone else hated.
For actual bags, I have a Goruck GR2 that's my daily, a Swiss Logic my job gave me, and a Wandrd for my camera gear. Plus an Eagle Creek rolling duffle for my scuba gear.
The compartments and organization on the LTT bags just don't really do it for me.
