[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 651727, member: 4485"] Saved by Snakeprotex type: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/snake-gaiters.23402/page-9#post-271973[/URL] Always been told long trousers, thick socks & boots will prevent most bite penetration. A set of good metal free canvas or leather gaiters is just a bit more insurance over them. IMO the biggest advantages in wearing gaiters are: * keeps lower trousers/socks dry in wet/dewy grass * keeps burrs, grass, grassy spines etc. out of your socks, trousers & lower legs I wear DD Leather gaiters even in winter 80-90% of the time due to the above. A bit more snake bite protection is secondary really. [/QUOTE]
