Any advice on best gaiters for Tassie conditions?

There is so much on this topic in these forums, do a quick search. From what I've read there is no "best" gaiter. They will all break quickly. Canvas can take more of a battering then goretex, and a longer length will protect your legs much better than a shorter length.

That thread is the one to look at - but I was also struck by corvus' suggestion on the topic of Leeches ( viewtopic.php?f=5&t=668 ) - not to wear black gaiters - easy leech camouflage !!
I'd never thought of that before. Depends where you might be walking I guess.
