Has anybody tried the SnakeProtex gaiters? If so what are your thoughts.

Yup, I bought a pair a couple of months ago and have worn them twice.
The metal components do not affect the signal on my GPX5000 at all. They are definitely not the most comfortable gators that I have worn but I figured that they at least have attempted to address snake bites with some testing rather than assuming that they work. My previous gators were made of heavy canvas which I thought were good enough (they also had metal studs but did not affect the signal) but after reading that snake fangs are quite thin and can penetrate even tough canvas I thought I would invest in a pair.
I certainly think that they are more expensive than they ought to be, but I guess you're paying for the R & D.
Are they worth it? I'll tell you if and when I get tagged.
