The rocks trashed the elastic on my gaiters, so I've added some protection, let's see how this works 🤞

Lightweight gaiters.

That's very neat. Do you do commissions? I have three buffalos, 2 dachsteins and two rucsacs that need reinforcement.

Lost the heel-strap to one of mine in the undergrowth in 'you-know where' and then found a strip of rubber dropped or left by a hunter at a reindeer/muskox scrape. Made a good temporary repair that lasted the rest of the trip. Serendipity in the middle of nowhere! 😁

I once had a Yeti gaiter trashed by a falling boulder. It went right through, almost to the bone. Back in blighty, my Mum cut out the piece with the hole in it, and a gave it back to me, framed, as a memento of my not quite dying on the Aiguille Verte!

Insects aren't afraid of the rain. Don't make me tell you about cycling along Loch Archaig in torrential rain with midges water sliding down my face using their teeth to hang on 😳🥹😱😱😱😱
