OK, I just ordered some. I think they’ll
be just the ticket, thanks Kathy and Crysta!

http://www.dirtygirlgaiters.com/ Check
out this website. I do wear gaiters, can’t stand the extra bulk and heat of
half-chaps. Mine are similar to the ones you are looking at and I wear them on
50s and the one 100 that I’ve done. I don’t even feel them on me, probably
because of the tights. If you were to weat them without some other fabric
between you and them and run a marathon, maybe you’d get sore, or if they were
too tight?

I
can't wear half chaps because they hurt my calves, but without them I get a lot
of sand in my shoes from running alongside. I LOVE my brand of riding tights
but they're not made in a jod. So, I'm looking into gaiters such as this: http://tinyurl.com/6rodhr.
One of the
feedback comments on this site indicates soreness and bleeding after running
for 5 hours in the rain... I'm wondering what riding 12 hours in them would
feel like. Can anyone provide feedback on this or any other type of gaiter? It
needs to be LOW so it won't cause the same problem as half chaps.
