Evening gentleman, This may sound funny but how tight are gaiters in fit , are they tight enough to be water proof standing in water??? I usually wear high cut boots or rubber boots if I think I'm going to be in water. I've just recently started wearing low cut boots (lighter) and an old pair of my daughters riding gaiters that are leather but I always thought they were just for brush tag alders to protect the legs. Do they fit tight or are they cinched up around your calf & boot. Maybe I've been missing out on something??? Just curious?? Bill out πŸΎπŸ‘£πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
