Any special considerations on making gaitors. They appear simple enough, but I thought I'd throw the question out there before starting the project.
 
You wanna start real simple???? Wrap your lower legs with ace bandages. Next you can go to walgreens and buy those really cheap neoprene knee braces and the nylon ones with velcro closures. My only concern is to not make them tight enough to restrict blood flow, can cause some major cramping or increase risk of an extremity DCS hit.

Thanks. I've actually thought about trying out the knee brace idea. I actually have some old ones laying around here.
