I know we are not supposed to talk about gaitors. None of us like that sometimes it makes sense to carry yet another item just to keep the snow out. But, this might just be the tool for the job when it becomes necessary to get between the snow and your ankles. It is also great for leashing in flaring ski pants on the alpine or ice climbing missions- also, I might add, protecting those expensive pants.
These gaitors are stripped down to the essentials. The material on the back is stretchy and breathable (ie not waterproof) but the material on the front is waterproof- so you get the perfect combination of breathe-ability and dry feet. These are also the toughest gaitors on the market. Spend your fifty dollars on gaitors that are going to last- allowing you to get your mind off of them- and just have dry feet.
