I'm right there with you on that, I am not a fan of Gtex boots, I have plenty of various pairs of them and none see any use to speak of, maybe if I washed my truck Id wear em. I just use the OR gaiters and am happy as a clam. I'm not using gaiters here obviously, but in the real world... I'm probably going to try to scoop up another pair of them while they are still here, for use in about 5 years when these are done...
