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
