Hi Lisa well have been out on a couple of occasions and the gaiters worker great. They are full calf length so they keep stones and grit etc out the boots no problem. Its just the heat but I have hi tec ion mask boots now so that seems to have sorted the evaporation problem out.
Am off the climb ben lui next week so watch this space.

On the whole, waterproof isn’t too much of a priority (your wader-gaiters would probably be great in snow – keep the cold out – with river crossings!) where keeping grit out is top priority. Remember with your rubber gaiters your feet will sweat like crazy. Let me know how they work our on trails. Lisa

Great Idea and a definate money saver.
I have just finished making my own gaiters from a pair of old waders, super waterproof but gets a bit hot due to the rubber and lack of evaporation from my boot
