I only use a VBL at night, when the temps are approaching or below freezing. I never use it next to my skin but put a layer of synthetic base layer in between.

On the other hand, I've often used the plastic bags over the socks in cold wet conditions. That's not so much a VBL as keeping socks and feet dry. I suspect all-day use is not a good idea, because socks will become saturated with body moisture.
