Comments about Adorama Adorama Strobo-Socks, Nylon Fabric Diffuser for Portable Strobes, Pack of 2.:
I bought a set quite some years ago, and used it on an inexpensive Nikon flash (SB20?). Worked quite well, other than being a little flimsy.
I bought a new camera, and gave my old one to my daughter, including one "sock". Can't find the other one....
I don't need one for the new SB600, but want it for one or two slaves.
So, if I can't find the other one....
About the only downside, and this may be "me", or the camera, other than construction, is that with rather fast film and a hot flash, the backgrounds don't always go as black as desired - the thing doesn't hold back enough light. Now that I've "gone digital", I have more control there, though.

Comments about Adorama Adorama Strobo-Socks, Nylon Fabric Diffuser for Portable Strobes, Pack of 2.:
The sock is not as large as I hoped. The flat area is roughly 5” and it would not stretch enough to fit on a 7” Alien Bee Reflector. After trying to get it to fit on another light barely stretching it the elastic snapped.
I think with some minor modifications (as others have stated larger possibly adjustable sizes) it will work for what I originally wanted an easy to use diffuser. As is it might work on a 3-5” strobe, but I do not think it would hold up if used for a long period of time or with a modeling lamp and highly doubt it will work with any 7” or larger reflectors.
Comments about Adorama Adorama Strobo-Socks, Nylon Fabric Diffuser for Portable Strobes, Pack of 2.:
This item is described as being compatible with Novatron strobes but the elastic band broke on both bonnets the first time I put them on. I have used them with a jury rigged elastic and they do modify the light in an attractive way- but it was a disappointment to see how cheaply they were made considering the price

This product can be helpful. Examining the materials and construction, it is difficult to justify nearly [$] each for two pieces of diffusing material with elastic bands.
Comments about Adorama Adorama Strobo-Socks, Nylon Fabric Diffuser for Portable Strobes, Pack of 2.:
I wish this came in more than one size - it's a bit big to fit on the end of my accessory flash. I am sure some photogs appreciate that it can fit on smaller accessory flashes as well as larger lights, but I'd prefer the option of a smaller diffuser as well. Overall, it works well and is a good diffuser at this price point, making it attractive to hobbists and pro-sumers alike. Fits nicely in your gear bag - you can crumple it up, stuff it in, and pull it out when you need it. I like that it is machine washable too.

Perfekt if you work with a multiple set of Nikon SB600 and SB800. Looks like barebulb flash of a big studio flash. Comes allways with my flashs

I use it at weddings all the time. much better than the G Fong Dong. Awesome product. The elastic in one broke so now I use that on a 7" strobe with a adustable elastic I made. very good value.

Will cover your flash sensors, making it useless.
(Used with an sb-600)
5 minutes of use and the elastic broke down.
Has to be the cheapest material ever.
Stay away from this product.
