Gaitors for front suspenders - opinions?

[dsinned_imp]

Thanks Ferret. You are a wealth of information! Just what I was looking for . . . kind of pricey but would save a lot of time. Here is a set I found on Revzilla (free shipping / no tax) for $76.49, the lowest price I could find online.

Question . . . in the spirit of saving money, wouldn't a suitable 1-5/8"D (~41mm, if such a size exists) length of plastic, convoluted, black tubing with several small cable ties, do essentially the same thing? Not as elegant of a solution, but would save a bunch!
