Thank you! I guess I didn't know there was different names for them (sock, tubes, etc...)

After sewing a set out of some scrap material and ordering some from Mountain goat I have to say that her work is way better than mine.

Basically its just a continuously expanding angle. Put in some tie outs around the center and you are done.

It's like Xerox. It is a product from a company that means "copy machine" and everyone used the term "xerox" as the only meaning.

Now to say "Snake Skins" has almost become the same. You may see or hear "tarp skins" instead as the general term. Like "Tree Huggers", is one company's name for tree straps etc., etc.

Just got my mountain goat sleeves in the mail. Great customer service and communication. Product is very well made. I highly recommend.

That's an interesting experience. I ordered a set and got no communication at all. They just showed up one day in the mail. That being said they are really nice. I would recommend them to anyone. REI has XL snake skins on sale for $14.99. I bought three.

Let's see your work. I'm thinking about making a set.

Perhaps it was because I personally emailed her a question before I ordered. She responded within the hour. I don't remember getting shipping notification though - no biggie.
