Size down if you're lean

The large fits great over my 12.5 Kayland MXT, despite my concerns that the wider expedition would be too small if I sized down. I'm 6' 4" and mainly wanted the gaiter for snowshoeing and mountaineering. With a thick base and nylon hiking pant, the gaiters fit over the boot snugly and just a hair loose on the calves. Ideally, these are made for use with wider plastic mountaineering boots and thicker insulation. But I wanted a bramble and crampon worthy piece of gear. Plus they provide a little extra insulation. A necessary addition to any winter gear stock pile, there's a reason OR hasn't changed much on the these in years.
