So - gaiters are well worth considering. Of course, a plastic grocery bag and some duct tape makes great gaiters. Just make sure to put them on BEFORE your shoes, socks and lower part of your trousers are drenched and your ancles are bitterly cold.



Indeed -- another thumbs up for gaiters. And improvising.

My fave gaiters (they come in men and women's sizes). They pack small and are priceless in snow if you don't have tall boots on:
