    Update !!!

    Sounds like only Blue and Red in Stock
    They had not updated their "in stock" supply - and was showing above three available :-(

    So hang fire until I get confirmation of what's available
    End of their season special means I get good price - but also can be a supply issue in size and or models available
    Also saying will check another Store outlet - so back later

    Make sure they have genuine YKK zips so that they can be easily repaired when the zips wear out, cos they will. But looks like a decent pair of gaiters.

    Made from Oxford-Cordura (PU) 1000D fabric (350 g / m²), treated with water-repellent impregnation. Thanks to the special interweaving of the fibers and the reinforced yarn, the material becomes resistant to wear and tear.

    Do you have any measurements from them in regards to the sizes sarvo?

    Cool idea. I use lacing wire. And when I boil the billy over a fire I often hang it with the wire from my gaiters.
