[pct-l] Gaiters

[Don Amundson]

I used the Simblissity gaiters on a JMT trek and really liked them.  As mentioned by others though you might question whether you really need them.  The JMT in Aug/Sep is gravel and pumice strewn in many areas. The gaiters saved me from endless stops to remove the pesky little chunks of whatever material which shortly turn into boulders in the shoe.  These gaiters won't do much in snow and probably aren't useful in many areas along the PCT.  They were light of enough for me justify taking them and I wore them every day on the trail.
