I bought the gator system to use with my drysuit, but found that it really works great with wetsuits as well. Especially when your doing different type of work underwater and want to save the knees on your suits.

The gaiator system is just for legs and the pack doesn't include a boot to wear on dry suits. Although there's a small note in the advertisement, i noticed that after i received the pack. I wouldn't buy the system if i knew that non-boot package before purchasing, and now it costs too much to change the idea when living overseas. But still i use them in comfort. A package deal including boots and gaiator system with less cost would be grat.

[...] no instructions - so took a while for me to work out that these should be fitted onto the dry suit before you put the dry suit on, which was still a bit fiddly, but once they are threaded on to each leg , they are on!I bought these as I have an "off the peg" dry suit that is slightly too long in the legs - so previously particularly in the 10m-5m zone on ascent I could on occaision feel the legs get a bit light and the feet a bit floppy, these Gaitors have solved that problem.I find the trick is to adjust them tightly , though they will still move around a small amount on your legs below 25m due to compression.The adjustment straps are Velcro only, so I wonder how long they will last as they have to be completely undone and done up again every time you dive - would have been better with a Fastex buckle arrangement as well as Velcro, but they are good value vs what else is available.Also bear in mind that the legs on the dry suit will now be a bit heavier and take longer to dry after the dive.
