If you buy some could you see if they work as bothy boots/sleeping bag socks. I've been looking for replacement of frankly disgusting buffalo bothy boots for some time now (they don't make them anymore but politely suggested they are reconsidering last time I hassled them). Even suggested the idea to Alpkit who didn't reply, think I may be blacklisted for suggesting barking mad product ideas (am I the only one who does this?). If you sleep with cold feet, pertex pile socks are brilliant, better than down and dry socks out too.

Don't worry, I've done this lots of times :-P

On the topic of gear with more than one use, I find a camelbak (particularly the consigliere in my experience) works brilliantly as a pillow too ;)

I also have used drybags with some air in them, they work quite well until they inevitably deflate :roll:
