Good trash bags for vapor barrier liners socks?

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!

In this video, Alex Hibbert recommends Tall Hippo Saks precisely for this purpose. A polar expeditionist probably knows what he's talking about.
To my knowledge, they are only available in North America.
