I’m a cold sleeper and was looking for options to help keep my feet warm through out the night. In the past I’ve used wool socks which helped but didn’t quite keep the chill out. The first night I used the goose socks it was like heaven! They are so lightweight and add noticeable warmth! These will extend my hiking season well into the late fall, worth every penny!

Whether you're winding down by the fire or settling in for the night, these down socks are your go-to for cozy, toasty toes. But remember, these aren’t for hiking—treat them like your sleeping bag, and your feet will thank you.

Color requests are not available, the Small size comes in Orange/Black, the Medium in Azure Blue/Black, and the Large in Navy Blue/Black. All sizes are fully reversible with black on the inside or outside!

Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.

Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Zpacks Down Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold.

Zpacks Down Hoods are reversible, face whichever color you prefer outward.
