Anyone have advice on where to find light gaiters that are more durable than dirty girls for a CDT thru hike? I rub my feet together when I walk, so the dirty girl gaiters only last about a week before they get holes. THanks in advance, BPL crew!

Will Rietveld gave the Mountain Hardwear Scree Gaiters a "Recommended" rating in his gaiter state of the market article back in June of 2013. Those gaiters just happen to be on sale at REI-Outlet today with 30% off the listed price, so they're 17 bucks or so. The sale is only for today and I think I'll pick up a pair to give them a try.
Here's the link to the article:

Can't go wrong with the short or long versions. Event material. Mine have held up very well after lots of brush and branches in the backcountry in both winter and summer.
decided to go with the scree ones since they were on sale and I am a sucker for a good deal :)

Retro Racing Character, Built for Everyday WearDrawing on the colorful racing chronographs of the 1960s and '70s, the RS1 Rally pairs vintage motorsport style with the durability expected from a Vaer. Its 40mm case houses a Japanese VK63 meca-quartz chronograph movement, complete with stopwatch functionality and an integrated tachymeter scale, while contrasting subdials give the watch its distinctive retro character. Sapphire crystal, 100 meters of water resistance, a screwdown crown, and strong BGW9 lume make it far more than a style piece. At under $300, it's an easy pick for the car enthusiast or chronograph fan.
