Ken Walls Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I dont have any pics, but I do wear them. In the winter I sometimes go without them, but they are also good for cactus and other low pointy things that can hurt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks Ken, Do they work and what are they made of, Although I am from OZ originally I never worried about using such things although I have had a few close shaves and I saved a mate once who was about to get Tagged by the Biggest King Brown I have ever seen, For A while I was getting paranoid because they always seem to make a B-Line for me, and it has been the same with other Bities that seem to want to share my space, Only thing is Now I can't afford to get Bitten due to health reasons, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathray Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I wear snake gaiters...bought at bass pro couple years back, after almost walking on 3 rattlers in about 20 minutes. Cant tell ya if they work or not, havent tested them yet,lol. But they make me feel little better when hiking in rattlesnake infested areas.

Ken Walls Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yes they do work great. Not really sure whats in them. I almost think its a Kevlar panel, they are lite and do not hinder me at all while walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure whats in them. I almost think its a Kevlar panel, they are lite and do not hinder me at all while walking. I Think I might try and find some if they are that good, I need something because I cant afford to take the Risks, Thanks again,, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldbugron Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Get them from Az Outback. After you wear them for a few hours and get back to your vehicle you will forget you have them on. Oh, they are guarenteed against any North American snake bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
