TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.
I have some cheap gaiters .. and rather than buy a new pair just for a spinifex trip I wondered if some kevlar lining would do the job. Anyone tried kevlar vs spinifex?
Depends all on the weave, kevlar is typically not great at punctures and can also get fluffy. Cordura would be just as good, I'd think. But I'm just guessing here, I've had a few kevlar product (cut gloves and sleeves) and the main advantage was that they wouldn't melt into your skin like nylon.... not an applicable feature.
