chrisski Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I wear gaiters with all leather boots, a set of leather gloves, and clothes are a thicker weight cotton material. Like the OP, I’m in AZ. Gaiters were originally for snakes but they help so much with the thorns. A few times with cholla cactus stuck to my hands and it’s the gloves. The thicker cotton lasts longer against brushing against thorns. I’m still looking for a material as durable as winter weight BDUs/ACUs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
