Dutchware Winter Sock

**BrittanyB** · 10-05-2017, 11:04

I am looking to purchase either the winter or summer sock today but, then realized I had no idea what size they pack down to. Any one with a sock care to elaborate?

Thanks in advance!

I can try and measure tomorrow. I have the winter version on my Fiancee's hammock. I can say its light and conpress's well enough that I just leave it on the hammock and put it back in the same stuff sack as I did before the sock was put on. A little tighter but it fits. (Custom DIY 11 ft hammock and stuff sack)

About the size of a Nerf football

Hmm. We have the summer socks and regularly pack them inside same bishop bag that came with our Dutch 11' netless hammocks. Suspension too. So I think Dutch is being modest again. The summer ones , to keep with the sports motif, seem to compress down to softball size.

I was very very torn between the winter and the summer socks and did end up with the summer sock in my cart.

I have the winter sock and it is a great season extender! And I would say it packs down to about the size of a 16.9oz water bottle.

I keep getting a server error when trying to order so I fall further and further down the rabbit hole of research...

I have been hammock camping for at least 5 years and do not own a bug net so trying to kill two birds with one stone after an incident of falling asleep with my headlamp on (reading) and waking up COVERED in bugs.

I've packed both my double-layer Dutchware hammock and the Summer Argon Sock together in the same Dutchware Double Ended Stuff Sack. FWIW, I wish I would've bought the bottom entry bug net (fronkey style). I've discovered the "sock style" isn't really my thing.

How much can the summer sock be rotated? Could I flip it 180 if I wanted to make it essentially a winter sock? Argon on top and mesh on bottom?

Winter sock is great. Easily adds 10 degrees inside and helps block wind. I'll post some pics later. Definitely worth the weight. I add it to the hammock before a trip and easily fits in the double ended stuff sack.
