Good trash bags for vapor barrier liners socks?

+0
−0

Instead of buying expensive dedicated vapor barrier socks, you can just use a trash bag as a liner sock. It likely breathes less too. However not all trash bags are created equal.

Properties of a good VBL trash bag:

  • Strong, but not needlessly bulky
  • Some stretch
  • Handles well in freezing conditions. I.e. doesn't become crumbly.
  • Long enough to cover insulating socks all the way up

Let's share the ones that are know to work well, so we don't end up buying trash trash bags!

This question isn't about the site. It doesn't belong in this category.

I posted this to Gear Recommendations. Is it showing up somewhere else as well?

Oops. I thought I was in the Meta category. I must have mis-clicked, hit Gear Recommendations accidentally, and not noticed. I have undone the downvotes and will delete the other comment. Sorry about the confusion.
