[pct-l] Gaitors

[leo-spencer at comcast.net (leo-spencer@comcast.net)]

I had planned to use REI low desert gaitors this year on the PCT, but with the high snow levels am now considering a taller,  more durable but light weight (Silnylon?) gaitor for the Sierras.  What are other PCT hikers wearing this year?  Recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Actually my feeling was that the people who *donated* the food
to the hiker box were the ones who were most disgruntled with
the situation.   The food/goods were being donated to *hikers*
and those products were being appropriated by the management of
VVR to be sold for their profit.  This is misleading at best,
fraudulent at worst.  If the box said *VVR donations* then it
would be at least accurate, but probably empty.
