I have been thinking abut the Molly Mac hammock sock. anybody tried one? It makes sense if it works, you would have your UQP , windblock (no raincoats) and should warm things up. Condensation is the question.:shades: Also 2QZQ is making a VBL the size of my Hammock Gear 3/4 UQ that will sandwhich between the quilt and the hammock like a tent foot print. Let you know about this on. finally got 20 degree weather.
Thanks for thinking of us! You should get quite a few responses... there are lots of them out there!Quote:

My husband and I each have a digital camo one and we love them. They definitely add some warmth, and keep everything nice and clean. They do create a wind block, and it also keeps the sun out of your eyes in the morning so you can sleep in. :lol:
I highly recommend them. :thumbup:
Thanks Mac... :woot:
Do you find that there's less wind protection from the uncoated versus the coated? Or is it calendaring that gives more wind protection? And is your material calendared?Quote:

I don't know what is the real effect of calendaring. I only make socks from 1.1 ripstop breathable nylon, or untreated 4 oz canvas (for extreme cold).Quote:
