Hi,

I was all set to buy the levagaiters, until I went on to order and see that the owner is away until July. I need something sooner unfortunately.

Things I liked about the levas
-no straps
-on and off with shoe still on
-simple

Obvious alternative is dirty girls, but I won't be using them all the time and don't really want velcro on my shoes (although if nothing else comes up I may succumb).

Mountain Hardwear Seta looks ok, but I can't understand why they produce both that and the scree gaiter? Seems redundant, is the underfoot cord better if you manage to not kill it?

Having tried a pair of Raidlight gaiters (which were terrible and fell apart in short order) I picked up a set of the stretch Mont-Bell spats a couple of years ago. They do have a cord under the foot, although I often hook it back behind the heel, which of course can wear out on rocky ground. On the TGO Challenge this year I took a few extra lengths of elastic cord just in case (using them as extra guy loops on my shelter as needed) but didn't actually need to replace the ones on the gaiters this time.

After several hundred miles they're still in excellent condition.
