In backpacking, as in life, you can never have too many spare socks ‘n’ undies. It’s the practical, un-sexy gift we all secretly want and need. On-trail, avid hikers can wear through a pair of socks in no time flat, and underwear can quickly get… well… you know.

Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Socks

  • MSRP: $24
  • Materials: 61% merino wool/36% nylon/3% Lycra spandex

Darn Tough socks are made in the USA (and in an Appalachian Trail state: Vermont!) and are pretty much the gold standard for wool hiking socks. They’re super soft, comfy, and durable, plus they come with a lifetime guarantee. All hikers covet Darn Toughs, and an extra pair or two definitely won’t go amiss.

For an extra-luxurious gift, check out Darn Tough’s deliciously plush, ultra-cozy Mountaineering Socks.

Injinji Liner Crew Socks

  • MSRP: $11
  • Materials: 71% CoolMax polyester/25% nylon/4% Lycra spandex

Injinji’s skin-hugging toe sock liners provide an extra layer of sweat-wicking and protection between your sock and the skin of your foot. Many hikers swear by sock liners as a means of blister prevention. They’re also available in wool if you want to make this gift extra-fancy for two bucks more.

ExOfficio Give-n-Go Underwear

  • MSRP: $18-$32

ExOfficio is the industry standard for odor-resistant clothing. The Give-N-Go line is popular among hikers because of its lightweight, breathable comfort and modest stank-reduction properties. (It’s pretty impossible to eliminate thru-hiker odors, but many people claim these undies are still a significant improvement).
