If you're like me, there's nothing worse than having a beautiful day to hike, heading out early, and then you hit stretch where the overgrowth onto the trail from the morning dew can cause your socks, and soon boots, to be wet within minutes. My regular gaiters are heavy (mine are 6.5) and don't work well enough to carry anymore verses an extra pair of dry socks at 3 ounces.
So....anyone know of something lightweight (under 3 ounces) that actually work well enough for a defense of the dreaded morning dew? I know of the eVent gaiters http://tinyurl.com/6aysuf7, but the drawback is you gotta put them on before the shoe. I've actually thought about asking z-packs or Lightheart to make a cuben pair. Any better ideas before I take the eVent plunge??
Thanks.
