[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2080558, member: 54178"] True, your feet do sweat but you don't notice it. All you notice is warmth. Many people including mountaineers and backcountry ski campers have been using not only VBL socks but entire VBL clothing over a light poly base layer in very frigid temperatures. And some use a sleeping bag VBL fo keep it from getting heavier and damper every night. "Airing out" a sleeping bag in freezing weather is not an option B/C the moisture freezes before it can dry. Who backpacks in felt pacs? Well if it's cold enough you do. Otherwise you need boots like my plastic backcountry ski boots with removable liners. Sure, a hot tent will [I]help[/I] dry out boots but they won't dry completely and will be colder each day as the insulation gets wetter. You can not use VBL socks and suffer or use them and have warm feet all the time. BTW, those Everest boots are expensive as he!!. [/QUOTE]
