Best Gaitors?
Needing to buy waterproof gaitors, have been advised to buy Black Islanders, looking for some feedback before I purchase. Thanks

Berghaus yeti, absolutely unbeatable buy you need a proper hiking boot with reinforced sides to wear them right.
There is a YouTube video that's 10 minutes long on how to fit them as you have to soften them in boiling water.
No wet feet for 2 seasons !

Re: Best Gaitors?
I don't know the make you refer to, but my best advice is avoid any that have zips.
They can get clogged up with mud and are a nightmare to do up!
The last pair I got have velcro and are so much better in every way!

Another Black Islander fan here, combined with Meindl Dovre GTX, best combination you can get, in my opinion.

Be it ever so humble. 
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.

The Wife and I both use the Barbour Wax Gaiters, they have been very good and half the price of the black islanders.

I also think the Barbour Wax gaiters are brilliant. Best I have had so far...
