One sock in my dbl boots, and in my ski boots.<br /><br />Single boots I ma still undecided, but usually two layers for friction and comfort.<br /><br />Tried it for the first time this winter with the zero approaches in the Alps. It worked and no chewed up feet so far. But I would be careful where you try it. Long walks in stiff boots generally require a liner layer for me. TLT5s have been the exception to the rule with the Lopren socks. <br /><br />Big advantage is no more sock combos for spares in the pack.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-37257567702323359322011-07-29T11:25:34.417-07:002011-07-29T11:25:34.417-07:00Hi Dane,

Does this mean that liners are not longer necessary?Jim Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-92022767668628169412011-07-27T09:10:56.958-07:002011-07-27T09:10:56.958-07:00Hi Crosley,

At least for me best used on the feet on in a sleeping bag in really cold temps.<br /><br />Some of the current dbl boots have inner boots that are VBLs so no additional sock is needed. Intuition and Palau liners come to mind. <br /><br />In the past I have generally used VBLs to extend the comfort range of lwt gear. These days the gear is so much better (warmer) that I haven't bothered with a VBL in any form.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-45224934555321422182011-07-27T07:11:44.676-07:002011-07-27T07:11:44.676-07:00Have you tried using vapor barriers on your feet o...Have you tried using vapor barriers on your feet or hands?Crosley Bendixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504403506320654818noreply@blogger.com
