[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8104907, member: 7808"] IMNSHO, gaiters are also so much more convenient. On the occasions I've been at my office, I can throw a gaiter on in the morning and basically forget about it. When I sit at my computer, I pull it down and am comfortable. When I go get a cup of coffee, I pull it up. Ditto for hiking. I'm walking along a trail in solitude (or with my family), my gaiter is down; I hear someone walking in the distance, I pull it up. Compare that to a mask. Every time I need to put it on (either in the office, getting out of the car, hiking, etc) I have to do the awkward dance of "Where did I put that thing down?" Is it in my pocket? On the desk? Then I have to get it on, adjust the nose piece, use two hands, etc. Also, I can't count the number of times I've stepped out of my door (or car, or wherever) and only thought about the mask 2 seconds afterward, then scrambled back to get it. The gaiter prevents all of that and makes it a simple part of my oh-so-fashionable ensemble. [/QUOTE]
