Gaiters

Running in the midwest and eastern trail races, I have not found the need to wear gaiters in the summer. Not yet.<br><br>
But for powder snow, I want gaiters. I'm running a 50k next week with the possibility of ankle to calf-high powder snow.<br><br>
What brands/models do you recommend?

I use Joe Trailman (similar to Dirty Girl but plain black) for standard runs, but that type won't work in snow. Snow (especially heavy/wet spring corn) will push up under the gaiter, so you need the type that ties under the instep... I use a simplified version of these shorties (lace instead of a strap) from Mountain Equipment Co-Op:<br><br><a href="http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442622615&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302733919&bmUID=1200611113619" target="_blank">http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...=1200611113619</a>
