I like my gaitors, in a lot of our caves, there are long tight head down feet up descents where air is always in feet.

As such i like wearing gaitors although I am unlikely to "die" if I dont wear them.

At the end of the day its your choice either way. It is nothing to fuss about.

I could get a tighter fitting drysuit, but then I would need three suits, one for the 400gram and one for the 200gram and a summer suit for the 100gram.

Easier just to wear Gaitors.

Just my 2 cents.

Hugh

That is interesting and I understand your point of view. Do you find that the gaitors make it more difficult to remove gas from the feet once it is already in or does it not make any difference to you?
