The problem with most of the gator items suggested is that they don't have the heat resistant panels that the H-D ones have ( I did find a online outfit that sells the same thing as H-D, but they were just as pricey ). That was my primary reason for wanting them, as my Frogg Toggs don't. I have a pair of waterproof boots, and a pair of the GoreTex socks for my lighter weight boots, so I don't really need the water protection.

I know there's a heat shield kit available from them, but you need to buy 4 of them to get max protection for the suit pant legs.

I found a guy selling a pair of the H-D ones for $20. Only thing is, they are size large, and they must be for a size 12 and up.

So I think I'm going to chop off the toe area, and wear them just as traditional gators.

Thanks for the replies.
