got some mt90 boots which I love but having a high ankle they do tend to collect water if it's heavy rain. thought about trying a mini gaiter and wondered if anyone had experience if these with any recommendations?
thanks
Bill

I wouldn't have thought you'd get a good enough seal to make it work. A wee trick you might want to try is to cut the wrist section out of a pair of domestic rubber gloves. Slip that on your leg, put your boot on and then roll the rubber section over the top of the boot. I've done this a couple of times - for longer trips - and it works fairly well.

Hey - you can even get a choice of colours.

We used to cut ring sections out of old motorbike inner tubes to seal trousers to MX boots. ? What about an old inner tube, again I think making it tight enough to seal might be a circulatory worry.

? why not shave the bits affected and make an umbrella out of duct tape round each leg over the boot ...... uncool but dry....
