Comments about Bare Bare Drysuit Gaitor System:
The gaiator system is just for legs and the pack doesn't include a boot to wear on dry suits. Although there's a small note in the advertisement, i noticed that after i received the pack. I wouldn't buy the system if i knew that non-boot package before purchasing, and now it costs too much to change the idea when living overseas. But still i use them in comfort. A package deal including boots and gaiator system with less cost would be grat.

[...] no instructions - so took a while for me to work out that these should be fitted onto the dry suit before you put the dry suit on, which was still a bit fiddly, but once they are threaded on to each leg , they are on!I bought these as I have an "off the peg" dry suit that is slightly too long in the legs - so previously particularly in the 10m-5m zone on ascent I could on occaision feel the legs get a bit light and the feet a bit floppy, these Gaitors have solved that problem.I find the trick is to adjust them tightly , though they will still move around a small amount on your legs below 25m due to compression.The adjustment straps are Velcro only, so I wonder how long they will last as they have to be completely undone and done up again every time you dive - would have been better with a Fastex buckle arrangement as well as Velcro, but they are good value vs what else is available.Also bear in mind that the legs on the dry suit will now be a bit heavier and take longer to dry after the dive.
