Has anyone used these before? They are gaiters with some neoprene added for a little extra insulation. I'm curious how much warmth these would add to an uninsulated shoe/boot, if it would be significant at all. http://www.outdoorresearch.com/en/huron-gaiters-high.html

bump…anyone use these?
Hey Justin, I posted this question in another thread (I think it was about snowshoe systems) but got no responses either. They're still a pretty new product. I might give them a shot this winter (although the high version looks like it's about mid calf…I wish it were as high as the crocodile gaiters).
I think a lot of people in the market for this are using the 40 below over boots. Perhaps many assume you know them and are not replying? If you don’t – do check them out. I don’t have personal experience but there are a couple of people on here that have used them. I’m sure they can provide more feedback if necessary. 40 below
I’d love to try them but read that they run very small, the biggest size I’ve seen is Large. Anyone ever try the DryGuy BootGloves? Looks like they’re designed for skiing, but if I could throw them over my trail runners and not have to deal with boots that would be ideal.
I own a pair of 40 belows which I haven't used. These OR gaiters seem like a less serious/less warm alternative and they don't cover the sole, so I could use them fine without snowshoes. The 40 below would be more like deep winter/deep snow mukluks I think, the ORs would be more like light winter or shoulder season to add a little extra warmth and keep water/snow out of the top of your shoes.
I bought a pair this Spring, will let you know this winter how they do :) I also have a pair of -40 TR's that I have used, great overshoe for snowshoeing in very cold conditions- I bought the Hurons for less than very cold conditions
