Something to think about with gaiters - if you are on the wrong side of 50/55ish and starting to loose the flexibility you had at 20, or worse bulging slightly in various places, then front fastening gaiters are your friend (and if you are thinking fat old bugger thats ok, but went for a shot with two guys playing senior rugby on Friday night, we climbed 250 metres right out of the truck as fast as any of us could go and man they went red in the face and puffed fit to blow my hat off. Damm near killed me keeping ahead but I was first to the top!).
My rear fastening ones are retired!
