I've had the opposite experience. Darn Tough has replaced a half dozen pairs of socks for me because I end up with big holes in them in about nine months. Which is a shame because they're quite comfortable. For pants, I was using lululemon for a while and just accepting that their build quality made them last about 18 months to 2 years, while the warranty was five years, so I would just have the company swap them out for new ones on a regular basis. I'm trying some pants from prana and arcteryx now that offer equal freedom of motion but hopefully will be a little more robust.
