I am planning my 2014 thru of the AT and have a question about cold feet. My feet tend to get really cold at night when I am trying to sleep despite the thick wool socks I bring to sleep in.
Has anyone tried sleeping in down socks from Goose Feet Gear? They appear to be very light weight at 2.2 oz. I think they could double as a pillow on warmer nights. . I use a 3/4 length 0degree under quilt and 3 season top quilt. I usually use my empty pack to insulate my legs and keep my feet in the foot box of the quilt.
My number one concern about the down socks is that it would be a PITA to have to take them off at night if I have to get up in the middle of the night. Feather Feet makes over booties for such an occasion, but I think they are a bit too expensive for what they are. (I have not seen them in person, so I am making that judgement strictly based on what I saw on the web site.)
Thanks for you input!
