At $30 a pair, but two pair. Cut the waterproof membrane out of one pair for when it’s hot and slap some DWR on them. Then keep the other pair for when you know you’ll encounter the wet.

I have found that First Lite's smaller light weight gaiters are perfect for when you don't really need them but don't want to notice your gaiters. I love mine. I wear them constantly and dont notice any difference in temp regulation.

The first time you walk through a calf-deep stream like you have super powers and emerge dry on the other side, you'll be forever sold on gaiters. Kuiu Yukons rock and are bomb-proof, this from a Sitka loyalist.
