Quoted message said:While we're talking gaiters, bear with while I tell you how I've
scrapped the under arch strap - which was always a bugger to do up if
it came adrift. Now I've replaced it with 1 inch wide black elastic and
this does the job perfectly and the gaiters are much easier to put on.
Well, as long as we're talking gaiters, the zip on one of mine quit
today .. 'cairngorm' goretex gaiters from Stewardsons. Since I've only
had them for 6 months, 100 hours, 300 miles (roughly) of use, I think
they're going back, with a suggestion they spend another 0.5p on
better/ticker metal for the zip slider (it does have to work a bit
harder than a trouser or jacket zip, since the gaiter tends to stretch,
which means the zip isn't perfectly flat after a few days use).
