LOL, Jeff you need to smile more in your demo picts.
That's the exact expression I would use if was writing a bad review on a product.
All kidding aside, your sock looks like it would keep you out of the wind and very dry when the snow gets to whipping around, I like it.
What's your estimate on increased temperature range?
Well, my trip got postponed so I didn't get pics. I got all the way up the mountain, then came to a spot where I had to cross a frozen creek...it was strong enough, but the terrain was pretty steep so the creek was slanted downhill, and there was no way for me to cross without slipping down the mountain. Oh, for the need of crampons...I was literally 1/4 mile from the top, but the terrain was very steep all around so it would have taken hours to find another route. I had already made some pretty risky decisions (manageable risk, but risky nonetheless)...hiking alone, at night, with single digits expected, in pretty harsh terrain, with a layer of snow covering the trail (lost it more than once but I knew where I was going anyway), etc. Pretty thin margin of error, so rather than finding a suboptimal site I just came home and did some family stuff for a couple days. I was disappointed, but wisdom is the better part of valor, I guess. Planning to head out tomorrow evening with just the wife if we can find a place for Joker to stay...pics of the Hammock Sock and DIY Candle Lanterns then.
Haha - and I'll smile more in future pics!
I'm guessing it'll give no more than 10F increase, but it'll keep the wind from stealing the heat from my UQs...not really sure how to measure that.

Jeff? How much material did you approx use?
Basically, it's two lengths of material, 102"x60", sewn together. It's shaped, obviously, but that's what I started with.

So my trips kept getting postponed/canceled, but I did a test hang in the backyard last night for a new personal low. I posted this in another thread, so sorry for the double-post...I'll consolidate the sock part of it here, though.
Also had a leg pad, and the Blackrock beanie on under the JRB hood. I didn't need the beanie, but I was wearing it while I set up the hammock and forgot to take it off.
