I have been using Simblissity UL gaiters and a wallet for years and am really happy with them. But after years of use they are falling apart now. I wanted to order new ones now, but had to discover to my big surprise that Brett Tucker is not shipping internationally any more, only to US and Canadian customers.

Being German I am very disappointed with this business decision that forces me to find alternatives for products that I really liked.

For gaitors Dirty Girl gaitors come to my mind and they do ship internationally. Any other suggestions?

And what about UL wallets? A quick internet research came only up with Butterfly wallets that do not seem to have a coin department and ZPack, that is more a pouch than a wallet. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for any input,
Christine

I usually use a ziploc bag as a wallet.

the simplissity gaiters are nice, definitely more durable than dirty girls gaiters. they have there limits though.
I didn't like my dirty girl gaiters, they are only for on trail hiking imho. Just after 6 days the seams came off and the velcro doesn't like to many creek crossings.

wpb gaiters can be too hot, they do not work for me.

they OR flex-tex gaiters might work for you:
softshell material, light and they should be as durable as the simplissity.

here is a link to a german retailer: http://www.bergfreunde.de/outdoor-research-flex-tex-gaiters-gamaschen/

you might want to replace the strap with a wire

Check out mighty wallet by Dynomighty design. My sister got me this for christmas last year and so far has stood up to a lot of hell. extremely lightweight and the one she got me was a map of Alaska.

I like my Inov-8 debris gaiters. I believe Inov-8 sells directly in Europe.

Thank you so much for all your input. I think I will order the Mountain Hardwear Seta – thank you Anna for pointing that out to me.

Nemo Equipment has some pretty cool wallets made out of leftover tent materials.

Just checked Simblissity's website and they are now again shipping the Levagaiter, UnSlackPack, and Inner Peace bug net (thought unfortunately I think they still no longer do international orders)
