[pct-l] light weight gaiters

[Brian Lewis]

"Well, Brian, it's certainly within your Constitutional Rights to expect the
perfect website from everyone; however, I doubt that Dirty Girl is worried
about building the perfect website. I know she's not doing it for the money,
since she apparently donates all her proceeds to various running
organizations in the western US; and she doesn't need the money, since she's
a prosecutor. Don't make her angry. 

    She sells an excellent product, for an excellent price ($15), and adds a
huge amount of color to the mundane, boring world of hiker's and runner's
feet. She's having fun; maybe you should loosen up and try to have fun too.

    Incidentally, my pair of her gaiters weighs 1.25 oz, and has no loop
under the foot. I've found no other gaiters close to that weight; in fact I
never considered gaiters until I found hers. A whole lot of those western
runners, the ones who run 100 miles for the hell of it, apparently use her
product. Any week I can hike over 100 miles makes me happy, and I always
wear my Dirty Girl's. Now I even fantasize about her while I hike, hoping
she won't prosecute me for those dirty thoughts."   

 

 

Thanks for the feedback, Bob.  Of course I don't expect a perfect website
from anyone (much less everyone), and I didn't mean to convey any sense of
entitlement --- if the website owner wants to shoot themselves in the foot
(is it a kevlar gaitor? <g>), that's up to the website owner.  But as a
consumer/potential customer I think it's reasonable to expect to be able to
find basic data about a product on a website that's about that product. 

 

I like sites that provide extra info.  I like the fact that lots of photos
are given of the product (in fact, the only useful data I could glean was by
looking at photos).  I just don't like to grope around on a site hoping that
I might find information that's relevant for me.    Whether the money is
going to the owner or charity or whoever, I suspect a little more money
might flow that way if a person could go to the site and find out things
like, for example, how to buy it.  And other basic issues, like what
material it's made of, whether that material is breathable, whether it can
only cover the ankle or if it can cover higher up the leg (for use in snow
or slush), etc.

 

No attack on you or anyone intended; I hope your gaitors continue to work
great for you for years!
