So I weighed a pair of the Hollow Boot socks and Darn Tough Mid Weight Hunters (thier ‘boot’ height sock). The Hollow Boot came in a 4.6 oz, and the Darn Tough at 3.15 oz., but the Hollow are at least 1.5 inches taller and are cushioned everywhere, while the Darn Tough are not that cushioned on the top of the foot.
I’m not sure the Hollow Boot would be good early season hiking / hunting socks… they might be too warm…I’ll take them on some summer hikes and see how they do. They would definitely be good later archery or rifle season socks, and I can see myself using them whitetail treestand hunting. I’ll likely end up keeping them… I’m a sock whore and have way too many pairs lol…
