Was hoping to get a pair of his light weight gaiters :(
Apparently he's headed to Antarctica for a year. Leaving oct. So he's had to stop production. Sounds like he plans to resume when he returns.

I have one set of medium and one medium-wide left to move on (they are 'small', need to check his shoe-size references).

Hey, I was one of the testers for the prototypes, I know the fit.

Budget is an issue, however. Will see what I can do.

Hi All
I'm back from a year on the frozen continent and making gaiters again. Website is taking some time to get back up but you can PM me here or give me a call on 0458132441 if you're interested in bombproof gaiters.

Great news Scotty.
Mine are still perfect but I'll start recommending Tasgear again.

Post a few photos of your adventure and a website link!

Ripstop By The Roll are now selling some woven dyneema fabrics. I think they have more in the works, but this one is for sale at the moment:

Could be an interesting option for a HD gaiter?

Hi Scotty, wondering if you are still making these and if so where can I find details on sizing / get my hands on some? They look great and would love to support a locally made product if possible. Thanks in advance.

Here's hoping. They're a great, durable design and while I doubt such a business will ever make someone rich, there's definitely a market for custom fit gaiters that suit our conditions.
