    Pertex winter hammock sock

    Here is my winter hammock sock, kindly sewn by Swmbo. Made from pertex 4, I went for the smiley door rather than the sad door so that I can pull the door out as shown. Also went for pertex rather than goretex as I will always be using a Tarp and pertex is great at wicking away moisture.
    The temperature difference is amazing and the breathability is great too, I was a little concerned about stale air as I'm the type that like to sleep with the window open and a breeze on my face but it wasn't a problem at all.
    14.5oz

    Nice work! I love Pertex for a sock. My fabric came from the UK.

    I agree, that sock looks top-notch.

    That looks great. Any chance of a post showing the pattern that was used and giving some weights & measurements? Really caught my eye. Thanks for posting.

    Re: Pertex winter hammock sock

    That really does look great! +1 specs/pattern would be great.

    eviscerate3, I'm guessing, seeing as the he is in the UK, that the op probably got the fabric here: http://www.profabrics.co.uk/snap_sub...cs%3E%3EPertex
