[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 483737, member: 13321"] I wear Double D canvas gaiters, they cost $75 from DoubleD [URL]https://doubledleather.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=78&search=gaiters[/URL] The trick is to not wear them too tight. You want a bit of an air gap between them and your pants underneath (although when it's stinking hot I still wear them with shorts anyway). I haven't encountered any snakes in the short time I've been detecting yet, but over the years when fishing I came across them occassionally and twice came close to being bitten by Tiger snakes and once by a Copperhead. I also carry a couple of snakebite bandages that have a compression indicator just in case. I have seen some online that come from the US and they look armour-like with lots of articulating hard plates. I guess like with any equipment you get what you pay for. -Deepseeker [/QUOTE]
