Good morning, Paperclip,

Light weight gaiters are available at:  http://www.dirtygirlgaiters.com/ 
These are very popular on the PCT.

We'll be hiking from Castle Crags to Crater Lake mid-July to mid-August. I 
was planning to wear trail runner shoes. Given this year's lingering 
snowpack, should I wear boots instead? (I have Reynaud's syndrome, so I'm 
prone to getting cold toes; I already have frostbite on one toe from a 
previous adventure.)
Also, I've been looking for extremely lightweight gaiters to keep out gravel 
and thistles. I hike in shorts, so duct tape won't do. I've checked REI as 
well as local running stores but can't find anything lighter than 8 oz. Any 
suggestions where I can find some?
